Feelings of guilt arise and spread unseen
to the rulers in skyscrapers,
where people in the midnight-hour
sit together in secret meetings.
Unseen people are scared on the highest thrones,
there comes an unknown fear,
a feeling of guilt to those who do oppress
that the omnipotent Lord God on His time
will hold a terrible punitive reckoning
and at night people mutter before demonic powers,
ancestral spirits are called for advice
and still the rulers do remain scared
that the Godly vengeance will unfold at His time,
from childhood time the words of the Holy Book is remembered.

I would like to translate this poem
This is a very powerful poem, Gert. Well done. It fits together quite well with the one I have just submitted, Coming to terms with the Eagle's Nest, if you care to read it. I am also South African, but I live in Prague.
