Analysis of Lito

Maepail 1999 (Marikina)



Si Lito
Natagpuan ko na si Lito
Nakasama ko na si Lito
Nakilala ko na si Lito

Si Lito ay may mga bagay na nagawa
Mga bagay na ginagawa
Mga bagay na gagawin pa
At mga bagay na di niya kaya

Si Lito ay talagang lito
Minsan siya ay tampo
Di siya gusto ng kanyang gusto
Kaya siya ay nagparaya na mismo

Saan mapupunta?
Nasaan ang hustisya?
Di ba pwedeng malungkot siya?
Di ba pwedeng siya ay sumaya?

Nandyan kapag may tampo ang iba
Ngunit kapag siya na
Aba!
Umaalis sila!

Tama ba kamo si Lito?
Tamang gumawa ba ng husto?
Hindi ba pwedeng mapagod si Lito?
Magpahinga na muna ng husto!

Toxic ba si Lito?
O inilalabas niya lang nakabilanggo?
May magtatanong ba kay Lito?
Baka siya ay may itinatago!

Baka may dahilan kamo
May umintindi ba kahit paano?
Si Lito ba ay may pusong bato?
Nagsiyasat ba bago magtampo?

Magpakita ng emosyon ay talo
Magloko ay seryoso
Mawalan ng gana ay ganado
Ang sinasabi ko! Si Lito ay talagang lito!
