Just Sometimes Poem by Gert Strydom

Just sometimes I do write poems that do use parody or satire
that does draw comparisons and do sometimes make a mockery
when poets do touch God or me
hurting unfairly and unjustly
but normally I say things straight as they are
do jump out with words like with a Moses-staff,
do shoot like in the army from the hip,
do feel like W H Auden at the beginning of his poetry
where he believed that poems could bring change to the world
but still my people and I
are severally oppressed in South Africa
with affirmative action, which is actually, black racism,
but still commercial farmers are being tortured and murdered on farms
while everything is treaded down systematically and slowly into the ground
and this is so offensive that I am actually calling on the Lord God for help.
