5. Ang sumusunod ay isang talumpati na may pamagat na SA KABATAAN na sinulat ni Onofre

Pagsanghan.

Isa sa mga salitang napag-aralan natin sa wikang Pilipino ay ang salitang NABANSOT.

Kapang ang isang bagay daw ay dapat pang lumaki ngunit ito'y tumigil na sa paglaki, ang

bagay na ito raw ay NABANSOT. Marami raw uri ng pagkabansot ngunit ay pinakamalungkot

na uri raw ay ang pagkabansot ng isipan, ng puso at ng diwa.

Ang panahon ng kabataan ay panahon ng paglaki, ngunit ang ating paglaki ay kailangang

paglaki, at pag-unlad ng ating buong katauhan, hindi lamang ng ating sukat at timbang. Kung

ga-poste man ang ating taas at ga-pison man ang ating bigat ngunit kung ang pag-iisip

naman nati'y ga-kulisap lamang kay pangit na kabansutan. Kung tumangkad man tayong

tangkad-kawayan at bumilog man tayong bilog-tapayan, ngunit kung tayo nama'y tulad

nibondyingay di mapagkatiwalaan-anong laking kakulangan. Kung magkakatawan tayong

katawangTarzanat mapatalas ang ating isipang sintalas ng kay Rizal, ngunit kung ang ating

kalooban nama'y itim na duwende ng kasamaan-anong kapinsalaan para sa kinabukasan.

Kinabukasan, kabataan, tayo raw ang pag-asa ng Inang Bayan. Tayo raw ang maghahatid sa

kanya sa langit ng kasaganaan at karangalan o hihils sa kanya sa putik ng kahirapan at

kahihiyan. Ang panahon ng pagkilos ay ngayon, hindi bukas, hindi sa isang taon. Araw-araw

ay tumutuwid tayong palangit or bumabaluktod tayong paputik. Tamang-tama ang sabi ng

ating mga ninunong kung ano raw ang kinamihasnan ay siyang pagkakatandaan. Huwag

nating akalaing makapagpapabaya tayo ng ating pag-aaral ngayon at sa araw ng bukas ay

bigla tayong magiging mga dalubhasang magpapaunlad sa bayan. Huwag nating akalaing

makapaglulublob tayo ngayon sa kalaswaaan at kahalayan at sa mahiwagang araw ng bukas

sigla tayong magiging ulirang mga magulang.

Kabataan, tunay na pag-ibig sa bayan, ang tunay na nasyonalismo, ay wala sa tamis ng

pangarap wala rin sa pagpag ng dila. Ang tunay na pag-ibig ay nasa pawis ng gawa.

27. Below is an excerpt from John F. Kennedy's "Inaugural Address."

In your hands, my fellow citizens, more than mine, will rest the final success or failure of our course.

Since this country as founded, each generation of Americans has been summoned to give testimony to

its national loyalty. The graves of young Americans into answered the call to service surround the

globe.

Now the trumpet summons us again-not as a call to bear arms, though, arms we need, not as a call to

battle, though embattled we are; but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in and

year out, rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, a, struggle against the common enemies of man:

tyranny, poverty, disease, and war itself.

Can we forge against these enemies a grand and global alliance, North and South, East and West, that

can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind? Will you join me in this historic effort?

In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending

freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility; I welcome it I do not

believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The

energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve

it, and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.

And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your

country.

My Fellow citizens of the world ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for

the freedom of man.

Green oily teeth to chatter and munch the cud.

Monsters, crawling the carpets of the world,

Still send from underground against your blades

The roots of things battalions green and curled

And tender, that will match your blades with blades

Till the revolted throats shall strangle on.

The tickle of their dead, till straws shall break

Crankshafts like camels, and the sun go down

On dinosaurs in swamps. A night attack

Follows and by the time the Sabbath dawns

All armored beasts are eaten by their lawns.
