GABI NG LAGIM
“Kakaiba ang martial law ng 1972/ May namamatay/ Pero hindi nabibilang ng DOH./ Hindi puno ang mga ospital/ Ng mga agaw buhay at/ Mabilis na yayao./ Kakaiba ang ‘martial law’ ng 2020/ Ang dami ng nagugutom/ Marami ang nakatira sa mga jeepney/ Dahil napalayas na/ At hindi na makabayad ng upa.”
