“Masdan Mo ang Kapaligiran”. Answer the guide questions in your notebook.

Masdan Mo Ang Kapaligiran

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 narating
Ngunit masdan mo ang tubig sa dagat
Dati'y kulay asul ngayo'y naging 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.
 Mayron 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?

Hindi na masama ang pag-unlad

Kung hindi nakakasira ng kalikasan
Bakit di natin pagisipan
Ang nangyayari sa ating kapaligiran
Darating ang panahon,
mga ibong gala ay wala ng masisilungan.
