FAREWELL RUSTIC PHILIPPINES!

Erle Frayne D. Argonza


Time was rustic climes covered all thy focals
As one would go around villages after villages
Towns after towns across provinces
Of a rustic rural Philippines

This once sleeping country had surely crossed
The Rubicon to prosperity
Conquering like a Dragon of east Asia
Bringing forth numerous icings to cakes
To celebrate its victories

Farmlands and fishing villages still abound
In towns and hamlets that sleep till now
Where comes our veggies, fruits, meats
Rice & delicacies, fishes & fowl
But malls, bazaars and commercial hubs
Mutate town per town and massive quanta
Idylls are a dwindling facts of life

Farewell rustic Philippines!
Thy memories shall ever linger in my memories
Alive with tapestries of adventures and learnings

O! SIOUX BELOVED!

Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago


O! Beloved Sioux!
Lakota, Dakota, and kin tribes all
For which my Sirian nation had
The calling to co-create with Prime Creator.
Lords of Light sing praises for thee
And entrust to you anew the mission
To rechart the noble polities forthcoming.

Let me likewise sing praises to you
O! Beloved Sioux!
O! Noble nation of sturdiest built
As sturdy as all the buffalos yon North
Thou art. Standing tall till many eons
Thou art still. Mighty tall prepared you
Are for the new calling.

Magnanimous as bumble bee
That nourished us with sweetest honey
Thou art. Please be so till times to come
For Divine Justice had listened to thy woes
And your sacrifices rewarded finally
With the New Calling.

Be compassionate and be one people
That listens and cares like the Holy Mother
Unto those who are of more marginal state
For they shall put their trust in thy bosom.

Praise be to thee o! Magnanimous Sioux
This once audacious Sitting Bull is always
With you. One with you still I am
Ra sings praises to thee like unto
Billions of robins in grand chorus.
