Gert Strydom Poems

With Uvalgonzavod to stand-still grinding,
with tanks not produced from lack of many a part,
acts of Ukrainian farmers bring joy to the heart,
as they tow the tanks that they are finding.
...

As a friend and darling I do you hold,
my heartfelt feelings I cannot pretend,
it's as if nothing can these feelings rend
as if for me it has been long foretold.
...

Major General Andrey Sukhovetsky
of the Russian Airborne Forces died.
With patriotism the Ukrainians wanted to be free,
where about a Freedom convoy Putin lied.
...

Each day I pray in a time of struggle and strife
while you that I love is from me far away
that God will protect and guide you in your life
as it passes far out sight day after day
...

South Africa is under an oppressive regime
and Biden is creating economic hardship:
the liberal elite lash with prices as a whip
in a big global new-world-order scheme,
...

(for Annelize)

It's cold this morning and cloudy and grey,
outside it rains and the doves coo and gambol
...

They did women and of the little girls rape,
the innocent was both tortured and slain,
no civilian was give a chance to escape,
a boy did nothing to the Russians explain.
...

(for Annelize)

Still I have the feeling of unrealized love,
I recognize you at any time or place,
...

The Police chief in Popasna, Oleksi Biloshytsky,
said Russians use onion bombs to set people alight,
of this phosphorus civilians have great fright,
as they do the deaths by ferocious burning see.
...

I do through and through know real loneliness.
In any time and any kind of place
I will recognize your beautiful face
its charm its character and loveliness.
...
