Wala Nang Bukas

Na-miss ko ang mga blues sa panahong ito. Sinusubukan kong sumulat ng blues mula pa kagabi, at ito ang natapos ko. Paumanhin po sa mga makakabasa. Minsan, nakakaluwag lang magpahayag ng damdamin base sa obserbasyon.

Wala Nang Bukas

Luhang bumuhos sa madaling araw,

Walang ilaw, walang tubig, tao'y nawawala,

Mga naligaw sa syudad ng kalungkutan,

Gutom sumasaksak, walang katuwiran.

Chorus:

Oh, wala nang bukas,

Pighati at sakit,

Pagmamahal ay namayapa, kapayapaan wala na,

Buhay di lumulutang, parang ito'y binitiwan.

Ngiti'y pilit, sakit ay tago,

Pamayanan nagmamakaawa, di makaahon,

Buhay mahirap, puno ng pighati,

Walang saya, walang pagkakabati

Chorus:

Oh, wala nang bukas,

Pighati at sakit,

Pagmamahal ay namayapa, kapayapaan wala na,

Buhay di lumulutang, parang ito'y binitiwan.

Pusong duguan, puno ng galit,

Walang pag-asa para sa bukas, walang katapusan,

Sakit ng lipunan, namumuno ngayon,

Isipan sarado, walang paglago.

Chorus:

Oh, wala nang bukas,

Pighati at sakit,

Pagmamahal ay namayapa, kapayapaan wala na,

Buhay di lumulutang, parang ito'y binitiwan.

Duguan ang puso,

Na baon ay silakbo,

Wala nang bukas,

Wala nang pag-asa.

Embracing Mortality: A Path to Meaningful Living

Embracing Mortality: A Path to Meaningful Living

No one enjoys confronting the reality of their own mortality. Yet, there's an unescapable truth we all face: we're mortal, and our time here is limited. This realization should not be seen as a grim or morbid fact, but instead as a catalyst for positive change.

Recognizing Our Mortality

First, we must face the fact that life is fragile and uncertain. Pretending that we are invincible serves no one. It might create a false sense of security, but it often leads to a lack of focus and purpose in our lives.

Living a Purposeful Life

Once we accept our mortality, we can start to build a life that is both intentional and meaningful. What are your passions, your goals, your dreams? What impact do you want to make in the world? By answering these questions, you can structure your life in a way that aligns with your true values and aspirations.

The Importance of Relationships

Understanding that our time is limited also leads us to value our relationships more. Investing time in friends, family, and loved ones becomes more significant. After all, it is the connections we forge with others that often provide the most lasting and satisfying fulfillment in life.

Taking Risks and Embracing Opportunities

The realization that life is fleeting may also push us to take risks and seize opportunities we might otherwise overlook. With the acknowledgment that we don't have forever, there comes a new willingness to step outside our comfort zones, to learn, grow, and experience new things.

Conclusion

Facing our mortality is not a bleak or depressing exercise; it's an empowering one. It helps us see life for what it truly is: a finite, precious opportunity to make a difference, to connect with others, and to live with intention and joy. By embracing our mortality, we can lead lives filled with meaning, love, and adventure.
