Mahiganting Langit

The poem Mahiganting Langit is from the literary work of Francisco Balagtas entitled Florante at Laura and this was considered as one of the chef-doeuvre on Philippine Literature. Francisco Balagtas wrote several poems but what makes him well-known is the poem Florante at Laura. Florante at Laura is a depiction of the unconditional love between two the great unwashed despite of all the problematicalship given by the situation.The selection Mahiganting Langit focuses on the struggle of Florante in trying to explain the agony he experienced in pursuing his love to Laura. It shows the detailed of his sufferings to the point that he started questioning forces above. The entire stanzas in the selected poem I find it interesting but what I ilk the most on the poem Mahiganting Langit is, Bakit Kalangitay bingi Ka sa akin?Ang tapat kong luhog ay hindi mo dinggin? di yatat sa isang alipustat iling sampung tainga moy ipinangunguling?I interpreted this as Florantes questioning of why his gri evances in life cannot be heard. As shown in the stanza Florantes having a doubt on the goodness of deity. He considered the situation befallen upon him as a direct ill-treated by the God. And God not even pay attention to his plea. This particular stanza can happen to anyone most of the time that we felt that there is no one is listening to us not even God. When we are having hard times in life we always tend to ask why. We question why God is doing this to us not thinking that God give us challenges to be a strong person and God dont give us test for us not to overcome.For my reaction about the given poem, though the fact that it is written in our native language but still its very hard to comprehend the thought conveyed by the author. Nevertheless, having it read a couple of times the meaning of every stanza starts to become clearer, on this point a person course session it will understand and relay it to the current situation especially when it comes to real life love scenario, this characteristic of the poem made by the author make me the most.
