    ANG MATATANDA
    By: Jose F. Lacaba
    Mga Bata’y isa-isang nagsialis
    Hanggang matatanda ang tanging natira;
    Ang panahon nga naman, napakabilis.
    Gayong wala nang tutulungang magbihis,
    Gumigising pa nang maagang maaga.
    Mga bata’y isa-isang nagsialis.
    Ang bakuran, araw-araw, winawalis;
    Sinisigan ang dahoon, bulok na sanga
    Ang panahon nga naman, napakabilis.
    Di na kailangang sa malayong batis
    Dalhin ang ngayon ay kaunting labada:
    Mga bata’y nagsialis
    Sa likom na bibig ang laway ay panis,
    Tulala ang dila, kapos ang hininga.
    Ang panahon nga naman, napakabilis.
    Mga alaalang kulang na sa tamis
    Ay titikmang lahat ng uod na dala.
    Mga bata’y isa isang nagsialis-
    Ang panahon nga naman,napakabilis.
