motiff of reversal

tatlong uno
1.25, 1.50, 1.75
tatlong uno
tatlong himala

kahirapan
pighati
decision to quit
to run away

pagtakas
pagtakbo
pagtalikod
pagsuko

sa mundong hindi akin
bawal, di ako tanggap
second class citizen
second rate opinion

mahirap maging dayuhan
mahirap tanggihan ng karapatan
maging kakaiba at di kanais-nais
isang outsider sa mundong ginagalawan

but when all else failed
then you say otherwise
nothing else than
trusting beyond the self

why did i get those marks
undeserved, unworthy
but a real pleasant surprise
a real motiff of reversal

so what is the point
point of reflection
point of reference
than the point of grace

paradox, indeed!
real and true!
sweet surrender
sweet mercy flowing
