ang paghahangad
                                                sa malaking yaman
                                                ang pumapatay
                                                sa sipag at tiyaga
                                                na siya sanang susi
                                                sa pagkakaroon
                                                ng malaking yaman
 

                                                            in this world
                                                i have found

                                                givers
                                                and takers
                                                as well as those
                                                who both give and take

                                                givers are a happy lot
                                                takers are most unsatisfied
                                                and those who give and take
                                                have that elusive
                                                peace of mind.
 

                                                daig pa sa kinagat
                                                ng isanlibong lamok
                                                ang buo kong katawan
                                                dahil sa tigdas
                                                na hindi ko alam
                                                kung saan ang pinagmulan
