Declamation Piece “Am I to be Blamed?”

| September 7, 2009 | 66 Comments

They’re chasing me, they’re chasing, no they must not catch me, I have enough money now, yes enough for my starving mother and brothers.

Please let me go, let me go home before you imprisoned me. Very well, officers? take me to your headquarters. Good morning captain! no captain, you are mistaken, I was once a good girl, just like the rest of you here. Just like any of your daughters. But time was, when I was reared in slums. But we lived honestly, we lived honestly in life. My, father, mother, brothers, sisters and I. But then, poverty enters the portals of our home. My father became jobless, my mother got ill. The small savings that my mother had kept for our expenses were spent. All for our daily needs and her needed medicine.

One night, my father went out, telling us that he would come back in a few minutes with plenty of foods and money, but that was the last time I saw him. He went with another woman. If only I could lay my hands on his neck I would wring it without pain until he breaths no more. If you were in my place, you’ll do it, won’t you Captain? What? you won’t still believe in me?. Come and I’ll show you a dilapidated shanty by a railroad.

Mother, mother I’m home, mother? mother?!. There Captain, see my dead mother. Captain? there are tears in your eyes? now pack this stolen money and return it to the owner. What good would this do to my mother now? she’s already gone! Do you hear me? she’s already gone. Am I to be blamed for the things I have done?

  46. it sad to say that most of the declamation that had been published by or fellow Filipino We’re written in English language. Kailan kya natin maipagmamalaki ang ating Pambansang wika?
    i mean …yes were proud coz many Filipino had been confirmed as a good writer…..sa subrang kagalingan….nakakalimutan na ntin ang ating sariling wika sa pagGamit ng pagSulat ng Makata o mga diclamation…!
    isang maxayang Buwan ng Wika sa inyo..!;)
