Leyte
by Victorio N. Sugbo
Island of nothing,
Tower of suffering,
Mystery of hunger,
Star of Concabato,
Playground of the south wind and Rainstorm,
Bulwark of Queen Imelda,
Maker of copra for the Ang Gos,
Buoy for those without salvation,
Manufacturing plant of children,
Trail of typhoon Yolanda,
For all these, we still love you.
