MAN OF EARTH

Amador Daguio

II. Presentation of the Text

If the wind passes by,

Must I stoop and try

To measure fully

My flexibility?

Pliant is the bamboo;

I am a man of earth;

They say that from the bamboo

We had our first birth.

POEM

I might have been the bamboo,

But I will be a man.

Bend me then, O Lord,

Bend me if you can

Am I of the body,

Or of the green leaf?

Do I have to whisper

My every sin and grief?
