BONTOC MOUNTAIN BOYS
Mountain boys are strong and pretty
Long lashed eyes with steady gaze
Proud mountain chests and attitudes
And sturdy mountain climbing legs
Mountain boys are independent
As in the ators of the past
When boys left home pubertally
Apprenticing to be men
Mountain boys know who they are
Confident with graceful poise
Loving pleasure and adventure
And keeping up their pride
Mountain boys still meet in shadows
As of yore discussing war
Not of ancient head-taking battles
Mercifully mild
But AFP and NPA
M-16’s and more
