RADIO’S MALAISE
Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago
Radio should be a gentle mentor
whose teachings we take as our own
as we cherish each fact and fable
that it offers us canned lessons;
but Radio is consumed up
by its seeking for money and
profits
as every sound that it releases
makes us believe that we are in
New York
or London or elsewhere other than
Filipinas.
Alien sounds can only nurture best
the filthiest image of our
national stature.
[Writ. 07 October 1988, Proj. 8,
