Anniversary Oath

By Tomas T. Talledo*

We are all humbled and awed
Knowing you endured rebirth
Beloved warriors you are here.

You are in the ears of cornlands
You are in the mouths of rivers
You are in the bosom of the masses.

Today we again vow to keep our oath
To reaffirm our surest intention
To march in correct cadence.

In our hearts your vision fires
To last this protracted journey
Night wayfarers we all are.
