When I decide to fight

-

When I decide to fight, when I decide to lift my sword and stand on the battlefield I will show my enemy my hunger for his death.
Fear would fear me and death will get mad over my enthusiasm in facing him.
Defeat will never be an option even against great odds I will fight and stand my ground even the greatest beast would cower at the size of my wrath.
Enemies would swarm like the flies in the sight of a fallen carcass, I will use my sword against them. They will see the afterlife soon as my blade cut through their trunks.
When I decide to fight I will give my life even if I gain nothing but scars and countless injuries and even death.
Bodies will fall beside me, arrows will pierce my heart draining all the life and blood from out of me but I will still push.
I might not be remembered by those who write the history, no poets might sing for me but I will still stand my ground, my body would be the sustenance for the soil, the battlefield is my home and the darkest valleys are my fortress.
When I decide to give my life to something then it involves everything in me. All the things that I have, the only things I have, I will be glad to lose everything that I die to have.
It has been this way as it will ever be. I have been and I will still be someone like this. 
I will never lose my life to something unworthy, but to someone I love, I will give my life if its what it take, I will die a million death and receive all the killing blows over and over again if that what it takes.

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. ...
