Pinatalsik
ng poong-maylupa sa asukarera,
o tulad ng kapwa dustang magbubukid
ay kinulimbatan ng tahana't lupa
ng isang higanteng dayong korporasyon;
katutuntong lamang sa lubak ng lunsod
magbuhat sa dawag ng iniwang baryo;
walang ipakai't makain ay wala,
isang ama ang naghampas
ng ulo ng anak sa pader ng Recto
habang hawak-hawak ang dalawang paa.
