The Old World Tradition (Pagmamano Po) Poem by Benjamin Chiu Uy

The Old World Tradition (Pagmamano Po)



These Old World Traditions(Pagmamano Po)

About many years ago,
Provincial town came in
Where l beginning -

A simple tradition,
Head bowing,
Hand kissing solutions,

Faces in those days,
The whole neighborhood,
Friends and relations

If it ever embraced me,
Left,

Years in frigates,
Tombs and traces,

I fully realized,
It's over utilizations,

There's the original
Majesty,
Where love perhaps,
Persisted,
