Nukarin Ka Munta?
ikwa mung
mipunta marayu linimpad
|
panulung mangamal ing kekang inuman
e ka pa mipaldan saingsing keng sakit
maya'pa kanitang ing bulung ning samat
santing mu panamdam tapal ya king kanwan!
king mababang dulang bitis makatimpu
lalam lamesa ngeni makatyat nala
ding sartin mu't pinggan besibas mu nala
inalilan mu lang balbalin a platu!
ing tipun mung bandi sobra na king kaban
sana intindyan mu potang muli na ka
e muna a bitbit munta king kutkutan
atin pang panaun magmaganaka ka!
mekitid ka isip, meluwalas ka dalan
meritak ka saya, meragul ka gastus
matni ka balugbug king kuskus balungus
nukarin ka munta, mibalik king bulan?
This is inspired and
paraphrased from a forwarded email message "Think It Over". A divorce from
the prosaic or parochial topic of "palapat and bibingka". The title, "Nukarin
Ka Munta?" is an adaptation of "Quo Vadis?". The poem depicts a significant
contest between man's material bequeaths versus his quest for the intangibles in
life. It also delineates how life's past glory is overwhelmed by the present
gory (spelled without "l") brought about by progress.
It is not soul-soothing. Rather it’s soul-searching! A soliloquy for the reader
to embark into an inner journey ... towards his inmost sanctum!
