Gert Strydom Poems

Evening meal

The twelve of them was with Him in the upper chamber,
carefree John did turn to Him.
...

(for Annelize)

Outside the speckled white, black and yellow barbet calls,
the yellow weavers gambol the day yellow and sunny,
...

There are people that do agnostically stray
where Jesus is no saviour and Lord to them,
about Jesus Christ they do tell another story.
To them His godliness and humanity is no mystery:
...

(for Annelize)

Love is a strange kind of thing
where you do touch my mind, soul and spirit
...

Two drones drew the warship's attention away,
provided accurate target data on that day,

for the two P-360 Neptune missiles to hit,
...

(for Annelize)

I miss you where away from you tonight I do rest,
pray that God will protect you on each busy day,
...

Russian philosopher and ultranationalist
Aleksandr Dugin is a follower of the occult.
On Sixty Minutes he spoke to a journalist.
Russians follow his teachings like a cult.
...

Outside it's the beginning of a beautiful spring,
the redbreast calls the rain as it does always,
while all of the birds do of God's glory sing.
...

As the sun hangs bloody-red in the African sky
a myriad of birds to their nests fly by,

they sing songs in tune and it will be dark soon,
...

I pray for the barbaric war to end
where Russian media calls it a world war.
America do the necessary weapons ignore,
does that that it remains local pretend,
...
