Gert Strydom Poems

The Lord is God and He rules in the universe
while His many stars do space traverse,
even in Beijing, Moscow, Kuwait and Riyadh
and nobody does His love and will reverse.
...

If only heavy guns, missiles and rockets cease,
the plague from China and its impact ease

if only the far-left socialist totalitarian ideal
...

(for Annelize)

This morning very early it's still a bit cold,
right here it's another sunny day,
...

Putin is authoritarian in the fist place,
he changed law to reign indefinitely.
The world believes Russians want it so to be,
sets up this strong man, that do the world face,
...

(for Annelize)

It's still raining as if it has fallen all night,
outside the yellow weavers gambol,
...

The new tendency against Freedom of Speech
where people are against truth and do cancel others,
while all norms and values do fall apart,
really annoys me where people do make opinions undone,
...

At midnight the Russians went in to destroy,
did an elderly couple in a black car shell,
did this event as a joke to others tell.
Inhumanity and war-crimes do people annoy.
...

(for Annelize, in answer to Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin)

I hope you to be as a darling mine
where now with you it's as if I am bound:
...

As long as a maniac dreams of his own empire
I will like my father a thousand years back,
for what is right not linger a mere moment,
everything that people place in my way over-bridge,
...

(for Annelize)

Your lips I have know as soft scented red
while you laid next to me right through the night,
...
