A Syrian Ship With Stolen Ukrainian Grain and Much More Poem by Gert Strydom

'Jesus answered: 'Watch out that no one
deceives you.' For many will come in my name,
claiming I am the Christ, and will deceive many.
You will hear of wars and rumours of wars, but see
to it you be not alarmed. Such things
must happen, but the end is still to come.
Nation will rise up against nation and kingdom
against kingdom. There will be famines
and earthquakes in various places.'
Matthew 24: 4-7

To me one of the top deceivers in
the world is Russia's foreign minister
Sergey Lavarov that said in Egypt:
'We will certainly help the people of the Ukraine
to get rid of the regime, which is absolutely
anti-people and anti-historical.'

In a Zoom meeting with Patriarch Kirill Pope
Francis said: 'Brother, we are not clerics
of the state.' He added that 'the patriarch
cannot transform himself into Putin's altar boy.'

Kirill has called Vladimir Putin 'a miracle of
God.' He has justified the war
and called Putin's war in the Ukraine
a 'religious cleansing operation.'

A Syrian ship with stolen Ukrainian grain
has docked in Tripoli Lebanon,
while little by little the Ukraine's grain is gone.
Barley and wheat Russia's friends do gain:

terrorist nations cannot from thievery abstain
and they continue as if life goes on,
along with Russia steal ton upon ton,
while over the years by ship and plane

weapons has gone the same route for war
from both Iran and Russia to the Middle East.
Hezbollah, the Assad regime, is Russia's friends,
with the cargo-ship Laodicea carrying more,
while with stolen produce Hezbollah feast,
innocent murderous criminal Russia pretends.

In Africa China and Russia are causing
countries like Egypt to cancel orders of grain,
that they have previously ordered from Ukraine
where in fear and intimidation they are pausing,

by lies and threats this is a terrible thing,
where stupid people want from Russia to gain,
where it dominates, brings rive and great pain:
to be rid of the Chinese and Russians is a blessing

where by admission Russia gets rid of a regime
where even a Patriarch bows to a mad despot
as if China and Russia can the world dominate
and only for Russian benefit do Russians scheme
to move from Africa all the riches Africa has got
where these people do only leave fear and hate.

The killing of Oleksiy Vadatursky,
the greatest tycoon of exporting grain,
of Russia's intentions speaks to me:
they try to cut off the supply from Ukraine.

Just where this businessman lived was hit,
with the idea of wiping him and others out.
Grain from Ukraine do not in Russia's plans fit
and of every Ukrainian they do know about.

The reason Russia is negotiating,
is to get the sanctions from it to lift.
To destroy people in Ukraine they do everything,
and against it all actions should be swift,

as Russia is an oppressing terrorist state,
that does install its own neo-Nazi hate.
