Beloved Mendicant o’ Street
Please misread not as selfishness
My apparent refusal to render you coins
When you’re on the heels
Of riders I’m astride on
Surely my heart bleeds profusely
Over your thankless predicament
Filled I am with guilt and shame
For apparent deeds of misanthropy
Each occasion of your presence
Has the whole sky come a-crashing down
Your eyes narrate the cryptic tale
Of Hades devouring the Earth
Just as my mind speaks to you
What it thinks of the occasion
That to offer you pieces of coins
Won’t transport you to amelioration
Better yet if t’were a stable job
I’d give as presents unto you which awefully I
Do not at the moment possess.
[Writ. 05 June 1988, Proj. 8, Quezon City, M.Manila.]

Why not be humble at all moments
Of association with fellowmen?
Didn’t the shopworker teach you
That one rudiment of survival
Is the intelligent recognition
Of your limitations’ omnipresence
Inspite of endowments of craft & wealth?
For there too are circumstances
That are beyond you grasps
In the snares of Naivete
And may even cause a furor
Of gig and limitless giggle?
For Boastfulness and Arrogance
Are twin eagles of deception
That once they’d lift you aflight
They’d shake you off the winds to crash
Tragically on the solid ground
Of defeat and humiliation?
O! Humility!
You are a noble messenger
That speaks for transparent Security
One that makes a person immensely cherished
By the commonwealth of all men.

Go far away to the remotest desert
Where you’ll rest forever unnoticed
You pestilent idea of Atomic War!
Have mercy on the farmer
Who’s been wishing to raise
His family to full decency
And so too on the labourer
Whose sweat has been aspiring
To transmute into purest gold
For the betterment of basic living.
Go far away to the remotest desert
Where you’ll be buried in oblivion
You pestilent thought of Atomic War!
Have mercy on children whose smiles
And plays irradiate the world
With untarnished love and devotion
For they deserve to reap
The harvests of good works
They’re noble inheritors of Mother Earth.
Go far away to the remotest desert
Where you shall slumber forever
You pestilent idea of Atomic War!
And may the champion of the Light
Smash all Bombs—abominable icons of Lucifer—
To inutility inasmuch as Life
Has been unto everyone endowed
Not plainly to vaporize
In the hot blazing ovens
Of detonated thermonuclear devices.
[Writ. 04 June 1988, Proj. 8, Quezon City, M.Manila.]

Love, concern and sincerest care
For the loved one and all loved fellows:
Could these be measured
Like the metered current
That powers the home?
If it were so could devotion be paid
In sheets over sheets of monies?
Perhaps the cats, dogs
And other wondrous pets at home
Can offer the answer:
Wondrous pets don’t count at all
Their kisses and devotion to friends
O! How they keep on giving!
They simply keep on giving!

Bro. Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago
Why dream of retiring at age 60 or 65?
Has life not gloriously revealed
The exquisite beauty within you
That shines all the more
With each day of doing?
Will retirement not compel you
Into dark dens of nothingness
Push you to the brink
Of cancerous boredom that kills
In every second of its conquest?
Continue to share to all fellowmen
The sublime makings of your trade
Be these in simple or intricate form.
For Life has endowed you
With blessings aplenty
Since the first day that you saw
The undying Light of the sun.

Bro. Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago
Why pump the lifeblood
Of poor nations with Aid
From modern Titans?
This Aid’s a footstool of Ceasar.
‘Tis nothing but cancer that encroaches
Upon the weak body of the recipient:
Eroded are the remaining vestiges
Of moral strength for the Poor’s will
To rise from the maelstrom of wretchedness;
‘Tis the fattest of parasites
That rapidly saps all nourishment
From the Poor’s ulcerated belly;
‘Tis an aromatic essence
That later reveals its baneful powers
To asphyxiate the struggling breather
Towards Hamlet sleep.
For by now victims ought to recognize
When abominable vampires strike;
Blood loss in such sucking vein is much too different
From blood gained from an altruistic donor.
[Writ. 04 June 1988, Proj. 8, Quezon City, M.Manila.]

Man,
In times when mind’s soaked
in an intoxicating concoction
of rage and fiery resentment
ought not battle against pitfalls
that are really no pitfalls
when gauged against virtues
that they unintendedly unlock
for such virtues are ever present
in the labyrinth of pursuits
awaiting to float to the surface
of riverine Existence
no matter how inconspicuous these are;
they are stars that are forever
habituating the firmaments
in grandiose beauty,
despite dark clouds
despite dark clouds
[Writ. 02 June 1988, Proj. 8, Quezon City, M.Manila.]

Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago
Actions of a kind
And those of others
Ever demand a plethora of decisions
Whether erroneous to some quarters
Or righteous to the rest.
The mind fulfills the thinking
Balanced with the doing
In a majestic rhythm
Of poetry and calculus,
Tempered by Justice
And the quest of the Will,
Astride the vehicle of Wisdom
Fueled by noble Inspiration,
It measures the outcome
Whether least appealing or best.
[Writ. 02 June 1988, Proj. 8, Quezon City, M.Manila.]

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.]
