Independence? Well, it depends on how you perceived what it means
Some says, it is a freedom given to a person, group of people, community and even a country
Some defines it as a liberation from slavery and human trafficking, captivity, and conquerors
Others reflect it as an unconventionality from being followers of terrorism
Republicans cogitate it as a condition of free-will in expressing oneself
Filipinos consider it as their sources of expressing rights and privileges
The question is, is there an independence? Will it be considered real? Who have experience it?
Those are some that need to be answered in a very long argument
Witt and logic might help to defend what it is all about
Most of the people are not aware of what the real meaning of it
The highly intellectual people might consider it as a source of power
The middle class denied it as it contrasts with their ideas and perceptions in life
The silver-lining holds it as a promise of realizing the things they believed part of it
Ever since, when I my consciousness started to grasp
I’ve seen different group of people in chaos, disorder, bedlam and pandemonium
With no ideas where these people are coming from
Even in my wild imagination I can even comprehend
With all the historical accounts inked in the journal of events
We can say that Filipinos experience independence in different perspectives
That every major scenario that took place in the country, people are shouting
Fight, fight, fight for the national reconciliation and independence
People power has executed many times for the freedom of the people
Rightists and leftists are still around
Political dynasties still exist all over the country
Political banners increase every now and then for their advocacies
Freedom, rights, privileges, honors, liberty, autonomy my mind is tingling
Greatest crowds are just going with the flow to where they will get benefits
Never in their imaginations and wild analyzations
Of knowing what are they belligerent for
As far as I observed, from the time that men in uniform are needed
There is no such thing as independence, we are still bounded with laws
Absolutely, independence is just a matter of a concept to deal with
So therefore, independence has never been realized as of today since then…
So let us start from WITHIN… and soon it will be realized…
