PLAY STATION PRESIDENT
Erle Frayne D. Argonza
PH Prex
Drives Porsche
Dates diva girls
Shoots guns for play
Trusts cronies
He too
Craves for playstations
His leadership craft
Mapped out in games
Happy-go-lucky
Did he render his country
Like toy land

FALSE PROPHETS MUSHROOM
Erle Frayne D. Argonza
False prophets round the world
Are mushrooming by the millions
Of quack spirituality
Their brain lobes
Might be split in many pieces
Bearing fragmented psyche
They herald doomsday
Last Judgement too
Their sonorous crescendo
Are peaking like zillions
Of enthused messengers
Pronouncing the elect
After Earth’s washing by tides
Of Apocalyptic cleansing

ELEPHANTS RAMPAGE KILL MAN
Erle Frayne D. Argonza
A man lies dead
By the side
Of a street
In urban India
Killed was he
By rampaging
Elephants
As man
Had enslaved the Elephant
For nigh eons
Is it cause
For wonderment
That the Elephant
Is exacting payback?

GREED KILLS FISHES
Erle Frayne D. Argonza
Greed kills fishes
‘Tis fishy to use fish
To stigmatize greedy ones
As involved in fishy business
Like those
Millions of fishes
Killed
In Taal & Pangasinan
Fish cages swarmed
With stink
Foul odors that
Sickened kids and folks
The stink
Of fishkill carcasses
Is impeccable
Mirror of greedy
Fishcage owners’
Unfathomed stink

CROCODILES AND GRAFTERS
Erle Frayne D. Argonza
I was raised to believe
That corrupt people
Are crocodiles.
Funny mis-thought!
Crocodiles are a marvel
To the eyes
Grafters are most scornful
They redden one’s eyes
Crocodiles stop eating
Satiated after
Sumptuous meal
Grafters are
Insatiable eaters
Fattened by greed
Crocodiles don’t eat
Spoiled meal
Like fishkill carcass
Grafters are zombies
Of living carcass
Living on others’ pockets
Crocodiles’ extinction
Make people uproar
Concerned over crocs’ welfare
Grafters’ extinction
Is the great dream
Of all for peoples’ welfare
Crocodiles induce compassion
Grafters heat up passion
They are
Not
Identical

CAYLABNE BAY
Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago
In the 3rd quarter of 1993 to recall
Did I visit Caylabne Bay with a large entourage
Of professors & experts from state & NGOs
For three days convening in a picturesque tour site
Created by former 1st Lady Marcos in the historic town
Where once Sultan of Ternate once settled
After running away from marauding Dutch forces
Wondrous a place holistic enough for meditations
We reflected on the health human resources here
Worried we were all by the flights of health professionals
Brain drain a phenomenon as they settle overseas
As huge as two thirds of nurses and a fourth of doctors
Then conjured thoughts about studies on the subject
With undersecretary Jimmy Tan gracing the occasion
Tough work twas for us all ditto for me who facilitated
Workshops comprising of brilliant minds
To soften the toughness of talk & thought
We immersed in the warm pools for two straight nights
Swimming amidst rain downpours of a stormy month
Massaging our bodies with Jacuzzi to conclude parties
Sipping wines & beers to go with hand pick delicacies
Happy I was to be in this wondrous tour place
To immerse shortly in the spirit of an ancient sultan
For in my blood runs too the bloodline of Majapahit nobles
Spiced up we were for noble visions
[Philippines, 03 August 2011]

WILD PIG HUNTING
Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago
Shooting wild boar can be exhilarating yet funny
But shooting a wild mother sow could bother conscience
Twas on my second return to southern California in 2001
That my sibling Emerald and myself went out to hunt
For wild game/pig to gun down and take home as meat
In a southern California hilly area did we go to
Paid the fee we parked the Bronco on ground
Then walked a-zigzag downhill curving in the way
Slowly we walked downwards yet till I sensed a presence
By my mystical faculties I knew our hunt was there
And indeed upon turning right downwards there it was
A family with sow suckling its baby pigs
Hurrying up yet slowly walking onwards
Bro Emerald aimed to shoot at the sow
Taking just a shot to execute the hunt twas over
At once the sow fell while the baby pigs scampered
Then the small truck of the game area owner arrived
There we loaded the felled sow as we drove along
Upon transferring the game to our Bronco
We went home feeling both victorious and guilty
So healthy a meat it was to recall
Of pork with nary a fat to parlay its skin underneath
Exquisitely tasty we gradually consumed it for two weeks
Even as we gave many a piece to family friends
And partying we too barbecued some of it
To go along with tequila and Tecate beers
[Philippines, 28 July 2011]
