Ariel T. Santiago
Land of bondage: Land of the free
A slave nation wants to shout and pray.
Peace of life and a united country,
That a desirable heart is now onto play.
A young generation is the hope of nation,
That the banner of love will be shown.
The success of enemies is now an ambition,
Because Philippines is now free from accusations.
War for peace and peace for all,That the cease of fire is not impossible.
The publication of truth and cure of misunderstood,
Where the selfish desires is now uncontrolled.
This simple piece of work for peace might not be fully expressed but the thought is present. Ariel would like the land under bondage to express its desire for peace. He would like to show that it is through love that the cessation of hostilities might be achieved, it seems that he is suggesting that we have to have a war for peace, not a bloody one but out of love by the hope of the nation - the youth.
