Here’s the piece that The Axel Pinpin Propaganda Machine Performed last night here in the Philippines.

AKO ANG PROPAGANDA

Hindi ito tungkol sa aliw-iw ng pagaspas ng dahon
Hindi ito tungkol sa oyayi ng hangin sa nayon
Hindi ito tungkol sa musika ng huni ng ibon
Hindi ito tungkol sa awit ng ragasa ng alon

Ako ang propaganda
Kami ang makina ng propaganda
Kami ang sining ng propaganda.
Kami ang salaysay sa kabila ng ganda
Ako ang propagandang hindi mo nakita ang ganda.

This is not about the cadence of rustling leaves
This is not about the lullabye of countryside winds
This is not about the music of humming birds
This is not about the song of raging waves

Pakinggan! Masdan mo ang aking propaganda
laban sa halimaw,
nagsusuri — hinahamon ang bawal!
Mapangwasak ako at wawakasan ko ang umiiral.
Pakinggan mo ang aking dasal at usal, garalgal
at nagdurugo, dumuduro sa kuro ang aming propaganda – gumigimbal!

This is not about ganja.
This is not about E nor about meth
nor about suicide and senseless death.
This is not about art,
this is not about religion nor about bling-bling,
racing cars and pogo dancing.

This is not about your prophylactic.
This is not about birth control pill.
This is not about your fuckin’ rabbit.
This is not about Jesus Christ.

Hindi ito tungkol sa condom.
Hindi ito tungkol sa birth control.
Hindi ito tungkol sa hindot na kuneho.
Hindi ito tungkol kay Kristo.

Hinggil ito sa pagkauhaw mo sa salapi.
Hinggil ito sa pagtatanggol mo sa institusyon ng iyong uri.
Hinggil ito sa katakawan mo sa kapangyarihan.
Hinggil ito sa Haring tigmak sa dugo ang upuan.

At kung ako nga ang propaganda –
Ang sining ko ay hindi humihingi ng paumanhin,
naninindigan ito sa layunin,
bitbit nito ang pagsasaalang-alang sa damdamin
at kritisismo ng ordinaryong tao
at sumasagupa sa pasismo ng censorship ng estado!

At kung tayo nga ang propaganda –
birahin ang kaaway,
gaya nang malinaw na itinuro ni Ho Chi Min
sa kapwa niya makata.
Pamunuan ang pag-atake!
Sumalakay!
Maging isang sining –
ganyan ang sabi ni Chairman Mao
sa panayam sa Yenan.
Paglingkuran ang sambayanan!
Maging epektibong sandata
laban sa lahat ng kontra-rebolusyon!

And if I am a propaganda,
if we are the propaganda –
strike the enemy
the way Ho Chi Min
explicitly taught fellow poets.
Lead an attack!
Slam! Bash! Blast!
Be the art, be the art
that Chairman Mao referred to
in his address at the Yenan forum.
Serve the masses. Live with them.
Die serving the people.
Be an effective weapon
against the counterrevolution.

This is about war. This is about war.
This is about class war.
This is about my revolution.
Your revolution. Our freedom.
