A Yearning, Yearning Heart

Jerone Avel S. Cansino

As time goes on and life pass by
From the bloom of leaves until they dry
Unfathomable fate awaits unknown
The seasons change and so as I


The way I think, the way I feel
The way I distinguish the right from real
Unfathomable fate awaits unknown
I’ll stand in this ground and wait with zeal


The future foggy, as it is
I’ll never know ahead what waits
Unfathomable fate awaits unknown
I have decided to cross the seas


I can never change what has done the past
Or make anything survive to last
Unfathomable fate awaits unknown
In this promise I stay strong and steadfast


I might be happy in the eye of the many
Or I might be strong the way you see me
Unfathomable fate awaits unknown
Inside my soul I’m dread, alone


In all the choices along the way
I hope, I pray this love will stay
Unfathomable fate awaits unknown
Our memories, I will shelter everyday


I break now this strong facade
Looking weak for you, I’m proud and glad
Unfathomable fate awaits unknown
The warmth, your embrace now I clad


Cherish with me in my happy times
We grieve together in darkest hours
Unfathomable fate awaits unknown
We will overpower the distance bars


Our hearts have united strong and tight
May it be our vision, guardian, light
Unfathomable fate awaits unknown
I’m always with you even out of sight


Please let me love you a love so true
Please let me share my life, this life with you
Beyond uncertainty doubt and fear
Please stay with me till life is through


Every beginning has its own end
Every birth, is to death being sent
There is nothing in this world that could never change
This love I have will end when I’m dead


Hold my hands strong and tight
As we walk this weary, dark, cold night
If in this trouble we’ll not survive,
Together we die fighting for our right


This endless pains, that hurts and kills
It could never supress this fire I feel
I long for you, for you alone
Now and forever this heart is sealed


Others will regard this as stupidity
Some will see it as insanity
Reasons are bent as emotions enter
I’ll trade my intellect just to be happy


I have but one lifetime to choose the path I want
I spend all of it just to stand where you stand
I would never want someone, somebody who is better
All I want is to stay with you and only you forever

We walk the muddy road as well the rocky ones
Strong winds and heavy rain will not knock us down
Every giants we encounter, in the end will kiss the ground

In the end we are waiting for a happy faraway land

Why Teachers Should Read Paulo Freire as A Teacher: A Reading Guide for Freire

JERONE AVEL S. CANSINO, MAED   In this article, I want to share one particular book. This book is titled “Pedagogy of the Oppressed,” and for me, this is one of the best Philosophical pieces written about the impact of education on human society. It is a seminal book written by Brazilian educator and philosopher Paulo Freire. He published it in 1970. Here, he presented a critical and transformative approach to education and is often considered a foundational text in the field of critical pedagogy. I would love to say that as a teacher, this work has influenced me far beyond my four-year professional education training during my undergraduate school years. I have heard (or read) somewhere that you know you are reading a good Philosophical work when you get yourself disturbed and when your perception of reality is shaken. This exactly happened to me. The book is rather short as it is only composed of 4 Chapters. The first chapter justifies the “ pedagogy of the oppressed .” Here, he...

The Message of the Talking Tree

The Message of the Talking Tree Jerone Cansino Look at the tree illumined by the shadow of the night.  Look at him as watch the waves. As he watch the water break itself as it hit the ground, look at him.  Look at how he witness the change of seasons and how he count the appearance of the sun.  Look at the tree. Look at him how let go of his leaves and hold on to the same. Look at him as he grow with his feet firmly planted on the ground. Look at the tree, look at how he sing with the melody of the wind. Hear his cry as men destroy his kind with the least appreciation of their importance. Look at the tree as he shelter the small birds look at him. Look at him and hear him speak. Hear all the lessons he want to teach. Hear all those advises he wants you to heed. Look at him, look at him. He does not walk but he do exist. He does not work but he does serve. He gives more than he receive, he is indeed. ...
