Tatlong Tanaga ni Nonilon Queano
Muntik nang mapatula
Sa bomba ng tanaga
...Ngunit puno ng luha
43'y di pa laya.
⌂
Sige na nga, sige na,
Ang tula ay ikasa
Apatnapu't tatlo ba
P-noy, kailan lalaya?
⌂
Sigaw ng bayang api
Free the Morong 43
Lumalim na ang gabi
Hustisya'y bakit bingi?

Do you have old tanagas used in the same political tone?
It seems to me that the forced rhymes and the rhythmic beat are the best poetic tools for emphasizing the politics of the author. Methinks, this can be exploited by other poets by incorporating pieces of the tanaga in free verse.
Resurrecting The Tanaga
The Tanaga is a type of short Filipino poem, consisting of four lines with seven syllables each with the same rhyme at the end of each line - that is to say a 7777 syllable form, with an AAAA rhyme pattern. It's almost a dying art!
The Modern Tanaga
Its modern counterpart, The Modern Tanaga, still uses the 7777 syllable count, but rhymes range from dual rhyme forms: AABB, ABAB, ABBA; to freestyle forms such as AAAB, BAAA, or ABCD. Tanagas do not have titles traditionally because the Tanaga should speak for itself. However, moderns can opt to give them titles.
