I Have Missed My Country Poem by Gert Strydom

I have missed my country
and suddenly did land in another world
where everything is third worldly
and does fall apart and is backwards.

Before I could wipe my eyes
people are working in government offices
and they do believe that the day of tomorrow will come
to do the things that is necessary

with those that had been qualified
pensioned off early
so that everything is in a mad confusion
and I am lost on another planet.
