PLAY STATION PRESIDENT

PLAY STATION PRESIDENT

Erle Frayne D. Argonza

PH Prex

Drives Porsche

Dates diva girls

Shoots guns for play

Trusts cronies

He too

Craves for playstations

His leadership craft

Mapped out in games

Happy-go-lucky

Did he render his country

Like toy land

FALSE PROPHETS MUSHROOM

FALSE PROPHETS MUSHROOM

Erle Frayne D. Argonza

False prophets round the world

Are mushrooming by the millions

Of quack spirituality

Their brain lobes

Might be split in many pieces

Bearing fragmented psyche

They herald doomsday

Last Judgement too

Their sonorous crescendo

Are peaking like zillions

Of enthused messengers

Pronouncing the elect

After Earth’s washing by tides

Of Apocalyptic cleansing

ELEPHANTS RAMPAGE KILL MAN

ELEPHANTS RAMPAGE KILL MAN

Erle Frayne D. Argonza

A man lies dead

By the side

Of a street

In urban India

Killed was he

By rampaging

Elephants

As man

Had enslaved the Elephant

For nigh eons

Is it cause

For wonderment

That the Elephant

Is exacting payback?

GREED KILLS FISHES

GREED KILLS FISHES

Erle Frayne D. Argonza

Greed kills fishes

‘Tis fishy to use fish

To stigmatize greedy ones

As involved in fishy business

Like those

Millions of fishes

Killed

In Taal & Pangasinan

Fish cages swarmed

With stink

Foul odors that

Sickened kids and folks

The stink

Of fishkill carcasses

Is impeccable

Mirror of greedy

Fishcage owners’

Unfathomed stink

[Philippines, 12 August 2011]
