At A Time And Place Poem by Gert Strydom

About the origin and the road that we did travel
to come here
we can keep fraying.

The one was there long before our existence.
on the other we can write about what we do know
and over everything that life does teach us.

About the spark of life
and how to get it going in a material lifeless thing
no one really knows.

That death comes with an impact
do remain a fact and so even the mummies
are a failing attempt to keep surviving.

If man do keep the Lord God and Jesus
from all of these calculations
and the power of creation
then our origin, our existence and even the future
do become a dead meaningless thing

and then we are only in life
in a mere moment
in a place and time
were imperfect everything do tend toward destruction.
