Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago
Songbird of the country
Please sing your tunes tirelessly
On valleys and hills
Sing afloat your theatre of amusement!
You are forever rewarded
With rice, shelter, care
By humble folks who truly cherish you.
Sing!
Sing for them! – the poor and wretched—
They who were left forlorn
By trusted lords
By false guardians of welfare
By deified magnates;
They who are now casting
New lives for themselves
New hopes toward betterment.
O! Songbird so dear!
Lift them up from slumber!
[Writ. 26 May 1988, Proj. 8, Quezon City, M.Manila.]

BANANAS
Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago
Bananas
are benevolent
providers
of delight
for our tongue,
and fuels
for our body;
they too
can be
the measures
of terror
sowed
by perpetrators
of naked power
in tropical princedoms.
[Writ. 27 Sept., 1987, University of the Philippines, QC.]
