On the tragic incident that happened twenty-one years ago in the little town of Lupao, Nueva Ecija, Philippines.
Again let’s take a look on Lupao Massacre
It was like the sound of a huge church bell
When this tragic incident first echoed all over
The world was shocked on this sorrowful event
Fear covered their soul and their heart
Screaming and crying were disregarded
Many lives had perished, melted like salt
Even the lives of animals weren’t spared
On that day, “death” made it his playground
Gunfire and tank explosions were echoing
Smell of gunpowder and blood spread all over
All the survivors were all screaming to death
Their tiny houses were totally destroyed
Where lamp was their only source of light
They were unhappy and in deep poverty
Yet many were killed, dreams shattered
As we take a look on this tragic event
To all of them who were denied justice
One thing is certain, they can’t see the light
Maybe it can only be attain in their dreams
More than two scores had passed by
Survivors of this massacre how are they now?
Though they weren’t able to achieved justice
Hopefully they’re happy in their own little way.
Minsan pa nating balikan masaker sa Lupao
Tila ba’y tunog ng isang higanteng batingaw
Ng ang trahedyang ito’y unang umalingawngaw
Mundo ay nagimbal sa pangyayaring kaypanglaw
Sa puso’t kalul’wa nila’y takot ang nangibabaw
Hindi pinakinggan mga pag-iyak at pagsigaw
Maraming buhay ang parang asin na nalusaw
Nadamay mga aso’t pusa pati baka at kalabaw
Sa araw na ‘yon si kamatayan dito nagtampisaw
Pagputok ng baril at tangke ay umaalingawngaw
Amoy ng pulbura at dugo ay umaalingasaw
Mga nakaligtas ay pawang nangagpapalahaw
Ang kanilang mga mumunting kalapaw
Na tanging gasera lamang ang siyang tanglaw
Buhay na nga nila ay sadyang mapanglaw
Maraming nalagas, pangarap nagunaw
Bilang isang paggunita’t pagbabalik-tanaw
Sa mga taong sa katarungan ay natighaw
Iisa ang t’yak, liwanag ay di maaninaw
Maaaring masumpungan lang sa balintataw
Ang nakalipas ay dalawampung taon na nga
Mga nakaligtas sa trahedya kumusta na?
Kahit hindi natamo hinangad na hustisya
Sana “kahit pa’no”, nawa sila’y maligaya.
