Martial Law

The Apo on the Wall is a kind of poetry. This poetry is connected to the Revolutionary of Raymundo Mata. I’ve learned a lot on this lesson. The Revolutionary of Raymundo Mata and the Apo on the Wall both of them are referring to the martial law. The Apo on the Wall is written year ago, yet, stills a reflection of our current situation. I must say, the poem made a big impact on me. The youths for today including me is let their selves to be blind enough to not to see those lives being taken,, months being covered, and freedom being stolen. The filipinos year ago is on their emotions and their opinions.

The illustration of what the boy in the poem saw is clear enough for me to like I am standing beside him, also sneaking arround his father’s office, nervous that his father might cathch him. Behind this freedom that I’m enjoying right now were bloods and screams of my fellow country men. Everything that happened in the past made me appreciate more what I have now. For today’s generation the students like me is more lucky for we did not experience such. Such that some students now to make sure that everything they want to say or every word that will come out on their mouths will not be nonsense. This poem inspired me for what the people who sacrifices their lives just for us to have all that we have right now.
