If it weren't for Magellan
we're all pure Malayan race
typical Pinoy faces
no mestizo blood running
in our veins
and we would oblige
to understand that Rizal
is simply a travelling poet
writing trivial things
in killing his leisure moments
and we call him
' He's deep, he's deep, he's so damp deep',
like an ordinary poet
longing when will his books
be published
even after his death
