Gert Strydom Poems

There are people who did about You rejoice but now do deny You
and still it's You who knows the heart and every secret
but it's as if they did lose their sincerity along the way,

where on me your impact will be quite sublime,
and you could now be either near or far,

to my existence, happiness and life you are prime,
while destiny and Lucifer tries all love to mar.

"It is God who alters the times and seasons, and he
removes kings. He gives wisdom to the wise
and knowledge to the discerning." Daniel 2: 21

You notice earthquakes and the breaking rocks,

Wagner mercenaries some still ex-Special Force,
are now by prisoners from Russian jails backed,
the best defence that they are up to enforce
...

Putin still continue with battalions of volunteers
like the Tigr and many others with pensioners
that as canon-fodder into battle he steers,
