EL NIÑO
Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago
If lands
were cracked as face of Terra whacked
Thermometer’s
gauge flak up as hellish boor
Denying
waters sipped by giant drinkers
To children
they can’t fathom the hydro sippers
Yet such
calamitous state we call by child’s name
Naming it
upon blameless ones who drive the world
With
sonorous laughter smiles as gaiety won
Puzzled
likewise are fowls and herds for such name
Likewise
are all the fishes that dyin’ in vain
Embittered
are swines and bees a-buzzing vines
For
waterless moment none is left to sweat
Such is the
sweet revenge of innocence lamed
By
bottomless greed of tycoons gentry claimed
Such sweet
avenge by Mama Nature for the child
For
innocence destroyed by evil lords reviled
So let
there be as many such sweet revenge
It teaches
us to love Divine Mama’s womb creates
Guffaws of
a comic bard for overlords’ helplessness
So let it
come till oligarchs’ days are gone
