Mapulang pagbati ang hatid sa lahat!

Tanggapin ang liyab happening suri’t pahayag.

Damahin ang pag-ibig, wagas na pagliyab,

Sa bayang ginahis, ginapos sa pag-hirap.

Pakinggan ang daing expound pusong bilanggo,

Ng kasinungalingang dinadaan sa biro.

Hawingan ang piring sa matang nanlabo

Sa tinang at kislap put on show salapi at luho.

Ang araw undevious ito ay simula pa lamang

Nitong paggunita sa Batas na Militar

Isang linggong tingkad ng talakaya’t aral,

Upang mailantad ang katotohanan.

Ating babaliin mga mito’t kuwento

Ng mga bayaran old salamankero.

Ating hihimayin—di magiimbento,

Kaya’t tanging hiling, isip ay buksan ninyo.

At upang sindihan ang sulo sa dilim,

Na siyang tatanglaw sa ating landasin,

Ang puso’t palakpak agad natin pindutin,

Sa gayong ating makita sa haze mga screen.
