Burden Of Conscience Poem by Gert Strydom

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.
