Analyze the song TATSULOK by Bamboo. Answer the guide questions below.

TATSULOK
Bamboo

Totoy bilisan mo bilisan mo ang takbo

Ilagan ang mga bombang nakatutok sa ulo mo
Totoy tumalon ka dumapa kung kailangan
At baka tamaan pa ng mga balang ligaw
Totoy makinig ka wag kang magpa-gabi
Baka mapagkamalan ka't humandusay dyan sa tabi
Totoy alam mo ba kung ano ang puno't dulo
Ng di matapos-tapos na kaguluhang ito
Hindi pula't dilaw tunay na magkalaban
Ang kulay at tatak ay di syang dahilan
Hangga't marami ang lugmok sa kahirapan
At ang hustisya ay para lang sa mayaman
Habang may tatsulok at sila ang nasa tuktok
Di matatapos itong gulo
Iligtas ang hininga ng kay raming mga tao
At ang dating munting bukid ngayo'y sementeryo
Totoy kumilos ka baliktarin ang tatsulok
Tulad ng dukha nailagay mo sa tuktok
Hindi pula't dilaw tunay na magkalaban
Ang kulay at tatak ay di syang dahilan
Hangga't marami ang lugmok sa kahirapan
At ang hustisya ay para lang sa mayaman
Habang may tatsulok at sila ang nasa tuktok
Di matatapos itong gulo
Hindi pula't dilaw tunay na magkalaban
Ang kulay at tatak ay di syang dahilan
Hangga't marami ang lugmok sa kahirapan
At ang hustisya ay para lang sa mayaman
Habang may tatsulok at sila ang nasa tuktok
Di matatapos itong gulo
