Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago
Twas a 16th day of November when it hap
On Year Four past the new millennium’s start
Dreadful a day writ in news of world sorrows
O’ laboring scions of Filipinas diabolically felled
By verdugos’ sadistic gunfires sprayed
Upon helpless citizens treated like unwanted pests
A presidential palace denizen I was then
Among those called to aid build concord
Betwixt unionists and hacienda’s cacique-bosses
Inspired by Socrates and Lao Tzu
Dialogued we did a back-channel mode
Quaffs of soda and juice mixed wise counsel
Concord at last to bear upon the unionists
To merriment my boss and us lieutenants a-going
When gory heraldry splattered public media’s pages
As sadistic caciques called cops for aid to disperse
With nil compunction shot the toiling folks a-blaze
Turning festive moods into grim dirges
Shocked and embittered we peace builders
Could best show solidarity to martyred scions
Amid hymns of praises sung by avian choirs
Songbirds atop Makiling, Banawe, Apo boondocks
Proclaiming “honored and loved are felled scions”
They are truly human till their last breath
Emulated by youth & all
Courage fulfilled

GLORIA IN EXCURSUS CORRUPTUS!
Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago
I wish I were a zoologist in the works
That I can fittingly label those species of spooks
Of political elites and broods of stinking punks
In scientific parlance brand them a la skunks
Lacking those credentials of a laboratory researcher
Allow me then to brand the spooks as one enthused
Layman who would lay his scalpels on those punks
And see where ends this poetic branding bunks
Now this Arroyo d’Gloria of the tropics’ land
Leaves her good office shaved of coffers’ fats
Nine years the Tropicana folks endured her mien
Her term thus called era d’ excursus corruptus
Let Gloria be homo excursus corruptus
Photocopied from greedy cronies d’Marcos
Upon her journey to the corridors of power
Her family plundered best as Empress Dowager
Intoxicated with enormous power a’ fascist she
Dreams endlessly of clinging on to presidency
Indeed an Empress Dowager born with tragic luck
To many enemies sits she now as sitting duck
Will Filipinas then be torn catastrophically asunder
As Cathay was upon Dowager’s heist of power?
Upon her tenure’s end did Cathay go to dogs
Will Filipinas then be sliced as juicy hotdogs?
