Sa bawat paglabas ng tahanan
dala-dala ang pangamba
dahil baka pag-uwi mo ng tahanan
nahawaan ka na pala
Ang birus, na isang matinding kalaban
mabagsik, nakapangingilabot
hindi makita, hindi sigurado
ito ang kalabang maaari kang matalo
Bangon, inang bayan
bangon kababayan
mga katagang paulit-ulit nating sasambitin
nang walang pag-aalinlangan
Tula tungkol sa pandemya ni Trisha Pereyna.
