Gert Strydom Poems

While a Bayraktar drone sank two patrol-boats,
another patrol boat was asking air-support,
got commands to tow a ship where it floats,
while the sailor begged for help from the port,
...

(for Annelize, after W. E. G. Louw)

Life and destiny, our love and sorrow,
all of humanity was caught
...

There is a struggle between farmers and John Deere,
where farmers want to work on their own tractors
and John Deere do limit them from this,
do control agricultural equipment by satellite.
...

(for Annelize)

When I saw you and we left each other
there had been that sunshine-look, the colour of your eyes,
...

It had been reported that a lady
knocked a Russian drone down to the ground
and she was scared of having it around
when she did it see at the balcony.
...

(for Annelize)

There far away in Cape Town where you are,
even if some days are full of rain and grey,
...

Previously:
A former mayor had in the paper written of this:
after a robbery, to maintain the municipality did miss
...

(for Annelize)

You pretty woman have no idea:
about all of the thoughts in my mind.
...

(for Annelize)

I wish that yesterday, today and tomorrow I could talk with you,
are stopped, by the government failed,
...

It goes well with those on whose sins You do not look
eternal love You have for people as this:
that follow You sincerely and on the ways You lead,
that avoids bad things and customs,
...
