Land of Bondages, Land of the free

by Raul Manglapus

Give me land
Land to own
Land unbeholden to any tyrant
Land that will be free.
Give me land that my children may not die.

Sell it to me, sell it to me at a fair price, as one freeman sells it to a slave

But If you will not grant me this last request,
This ultimate demand,
Then build a wall around your home … build it high! … build it strong!

Place a sentry on every parapet! …

For I who have been silent these three hundred years
Will come in the night when you are feasting,
With my cry and my bolo at your door.
And may God have mercy on your soul!

 The Gettysburg Address
By Abraham Lincoln

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation,
conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived
and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come
to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that
that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this
ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our
poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but
it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the
unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us
to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we
take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that
we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God,
shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the
people, shall not perish from the earth.
