A Tribute to the Filipino People
Elizabeth P. Olesen
Such a courage
you have displayed in
confronting forces of tyranny
You say no to corruption
that have long plagued our nation.
You say no to arms,
no to the mighty weapos
of the dictator
and by human barricades
of your million-presence
you give to our land
your bodies as the best sactiffice
that should die if needed
if only to restore
our freedom and dignity as a people
With your simple spirit
of faith and prayer
you have told the world
that not a revolutiob should
ever be successful
without God Who is sought
for peace and direction.
How can I tell you
that I am so proud of You!
