ALLEVIATION

Stead-fast realization
To join a revolution
With my right fist raised and clenched
And my red shirt sweaty drenched . . .

Easy to point the culprit
They're the ones who always sit
And with the media discourse
Who would not be really forced? . . .

Poverty's romanticized
Government is criticized
What we call social justice
Have shares of grave injustice . . .

Some rely on charity
Or instant prosperity
Oppressive reality
Prevails the majority . . .

Building a society
With broad-based capacity
For their own wealth creation
Might as well save this nation . . .

Not just instill a culture
That would be worth a sculpture
An ethic of excellence
For our progress to commence . . .

Not by mere giving of fish
But teaching 'em how to fish
For 'em not just to survive
But in spite of all, to thrive . . .

Our fight against poverty
No longer a novelty
Count this as one of our wins
No Excuses Philippines!
