That People Totally Unstable Can Walk Into Your Home Poem by Gert Strydom

Who will think that people totally unstable
can walk into your living-place, as they will,
can act with an iron-pipe as if merciless,

against my mother, a very old lady, violently
to spill her blood and life just like that?
Who will think that people totally unstable

without provocation or any aggression murderous
can make my mother scream my name deafening.
can act with an iron-pipe as if merciless,

as criminals try to steal the television and damage it,
that a human do shudder for such persons.
Who will think that people totally unstable

accessory to violence, invade a home in a armed robbery,
and me that they do not know jeer as a white man that has to die,
can act with an iron-pipe as if merciless.

The police-captain is of the opinion it's mischief, so sensible,
the other police laugh outside the yard, as if I will beg for my life.
Who will think that people totally unstable
can act with an iron-pipe as if merciless?

[Poet's note: At the murderous robbery of Eugene Terreblance I said in a poem that every white-man in South Africa now stand in his shoes.Mr. Zuma did put the security-police on me and said that I wanted to start a civil war.That prediction almost came true to me in this incident.I do not belong to Mr. Terreblance's view of the world or his organization but I am writing these words as the honest truth.]
