Example: Kay dumi na ng hangin Kay linis na ng hangin

Masdan mo ang Kapaligiran

By: ASIN
Wala ka bang napapansin
Sa iyong mga kapaligiran?
Kay dumi na ng hangin,
Pati na ang mga ilog natin
Hindi na masama ang pag-unlad
At malayu-layo na rin ang ating narrating
Ngunit masdan mo ang tubig sa dagat
Dati’y kulay asul ngayo’y nagging itim
Ang mga duming ating ikinalat sa hangin
Sa langit huwag na nating paabutin
Upang kung tayo’y pumanaw man,
Sariwang hangin sa langit natin matitikman
Mayro’n lang akong hinihiling
Sa aking pagpanaw sana ay tag-ulan
Gitara ko ay aking dadalhin
Upang sa ulap na lang tayo magkantahan
Ang mga batang ngayon lang isinilang
May hangin pa kayang matitikman?
May mga puno pa kaya silang aakyatin?
May mga ilog pa kayang lalanguyan?
Bakit di natin pag isipan
Ang nagyayari sa ating kapaligiran
Hindi na masama ang pag-unlad
Kung hindi nakakasira ng kalikasan
Darating ang panahon,
Mga ibong gala ay wala nang madadapuan
Masdan mo ang mga punong dati ay kay tatag,
Ngayo’y nangamatay dahil sa’ting kalokohan
Lahat ng bagay na narito sa lupa,
Biyayang galling sa Diyos kahit no’ng ika’y wala pa
Ingatan natin at huwag nang sirain pa
Pagkat ‘pag kanyang binawi tayo’y mawawala na.
