Declamation Piece “A Glass of Cold Water”

Everybody calls me young, beautiful, wonderful. Am I? Look at my hair, my lips, my red rosy cheeks and
a pair of blinkering eyes.

I remember, somebody says that I look like my mother that I look like my mother. But that was when
she was young.

Now, I am much lovelier than she is. I’m a mortal Venus. Oops! What time is it? I must get ready for the
party!

Beep-beep…!A-huh! Here they are! Yes, I’m coming!

"Child, are you still there?"

"Hmp! That’s my mama"

"Child, are you still there? Will you please get me a glass of cold water?"

"Mama, I’m in a hurry!"

"Please child, try to get me a glass of cold water."

"Mama, please, try to get it on your own."

"Please child, try to get me a glass of cold water!"

At the party, I danced and danced the whole night.

You see, I can’t leave the party at once. I have to dance with everybody who proposed to me. At last, the
party is over. I’m very tired. Very, very tired.

So, I went home to tell mama what happened.

"Mama, I’m home! It’s very quiet. "Mama, I’m home!" Nobody answers.

Where is she? I look for her in the sala, but she’s not there. Where is she? A-huh! In the kitchen!

I saw my mama, lying down on the floor, dead. With a glass on her hand. I remember, she tried to get it.

Oh, God, just for the glass of cold water! Mama! Mama! Oh, Mama!
 Bad Girl

Hey! Every Body seems to be staring at me..

You! You! All of you!
How dare you to stare at me?
Why? Is it because I'm a bad girl?
A bad girl I am, a good for nothing teen ager, a problem child?
That's what you call me!
I smoke. I drink. I gamble at my young tender age.
I lie. I cheat, and I could even kill, if I have too.
Yes, I'm a bad girl, but where are my parents?
You! You! You are my good parents?
My good elder brother & sister in this society where I live?
Look…look at me…What have you done to me?
You have pampered and spoiled me, neglected me when I needed you most!
In trusted me to a yaya, whose intelligent was much lower than mine!
While you go about your parties, your meetings and gambling sessions…
Thus… I drifted away from you!
Longing for a fathers love, yearning for a mothers care!
As I grow up, everything change!
You too have change!
You spent more time in your pokers, mahjong tables, bars and night clubs.
You even landed on the headline of the news paper as crook, peddlers and racketeers.
Now, you call my name; accuse me in everything I do to myself?
Tell me! How good you are?
If you really wish to ensure my future
Then hurry….hurry back home! Where I await you, because I need you…
Protect me from all evil influences that will threaten at my very own understanding…
But if I am bad, really bad…then, you've got to help me!
Help me! Oh please…Help me!
 The Lost Girl" by dhang

I am a girl, young in heart and in mind...

I am carefree, I enjoy doing nothing
but play,play and play...
I seldom go to school but hmp! nobody cares!
Instead,you will see me roaming around
standing at the nearby canto,
or hanging around at the sari-sari store
standing beside the jukebox stand...
One day I asked I asked my mother to teach me
how to behave, to live, and appreciate all the
beautiful things in life.
Would you like to know what she told me?
She said... " Can't you see, I have to hurry up for my
majong session! " So I turned to my father to console me.
But what a wonderful word he did tell me...
" Child, I have to finish my overtime work...Here's 500 pesos,
go and ask your teacher about that question..."
Sadly,I attended my class...
But I heard nothing but the echoing voice of
my teacher,torturing me with her words...
" Hey yo lazy girl!
Why waste your time studying those things?
When up to now you can't even multiply seven by nine?
Go home and don't bother me!!!"
I am lost...confused...I don't know what to do with myself...
Where are my parents to guide me?
My teachers to give me inspirations?
My friends,when I play?
I'm lazy and irresponsible.
When I try to study,
I get punished for not being able to answer.
Where now...I'm confused...
Somebody, please help me...
You say that the world is beautiful,
why is it treating me this way?
Hear me please!
Help me please!
Help me...
I am lo
 Declamation Piece “Conscience”

By Lhenn

I wept, I cried so hard.  But these tears can’t bring back my sister to life.  I’m being brought here by my
conscience.  I want to ask forgiveness.  But can she still hear?  O heart, forgive me for what I have done,
please bring peace to mind.

Dry leaves were crushed down below.  As if to freshen my memories that her life perished because of
my selfishness.

She was my only sister.  Since our childhood, I always believed that I was the favorite of our dad.  One
night, while I was facing all about to the mirror, with my micro mini, I puffed powder, when I saw Luisa’s
face, reflecting in the mirror.  "You can’t get out tonight, Lucille."  I heard a threatening tone from her.  I
turned to her, but I can’t resist at her sharp stare at me. "And who says so, my dear sister?" "We are to
celebrate Momma’s death anniversary, you know that don’t you?"  In a relaxed and condescending
voice, I replied "well I don’t care.  I’m going out to party tonight!"

Then I heard a knock on the door.  I shouted "Help Papa!"  for I knew that it was he.  I pulled my hair, I
tore my dress away as I was attacked by a squad of monstrous creatures.  When the door opened the
site Papa saw was that Luisa was holding my neck who was trying to make a rescue.  But I cried so hard
that made Papa grew to the height of anger.  He threw Luisa to the corner, where the head of my poor
sister was hit at the edge of the chair.

I slowly rejoiced for I have made a successful revenge.  But when she lifted, I saw a different sparkle in
her tearful eyes. "Ha ha ha ha ha!"  O my, Luisa, she went out of her mind.  I was not able to move, as
well as Papa.  Both of us were motionless.  And before we returned to our senses, Luisa ran to the door
and proceeded to the open gate of our house.  We followed her calling out her name.  "Luisa!"  "Sister!" 
"Luisa"   "Sister" "Luisa the Truck!" "Don’t cross the road, Luisa, the truck don’t Don’t DON’T!"

The next sight I saw was that Luisa was thrown five meters away from the truck.  I ran to her and
embraced her.  Blood was all over her face.  In a low but distinct voice she murmured, that made my
heart break so much.  She said, "Lucille, please be a good girl.  I love you.  Please be a good girl ‘coz Papa
loves you very much."

"Luisa?  Luisa?  Sister… sister!!!"  From that moment I cried so hard for killing my only sister, who loved
and cared for me, even at the last moment of her life.

Now can you blame me, for asking God to forgive me?  Forgive me dear God, Forgive me!
