A Hail to Rizal

A man who has no freedom
to fight for his own,
but still combat for the
welfare of his nation.
You think not for yourself
but for the glory of your land.

You are a genius
with your notable words.
Through your burning pen:
the most influential weapon
you wrote and exposed
the reality behind other’s faint.

You are the fearless
of your generation.
You are indeed venerable
for your laudable deeds.
You are purely the best
when you proved what bravery is.

We know it’s neither painless
nor overwhelming on your part.
You are beloved,
you are great
we deemed you as one.
As your name will be immortally reside.
