The Veteran Poem by Gert Strydom

The Veteran



I know that every matter
cannot be only black and white,
but what is right is right
and a lot of wrong things are going on.

Inertia bothers me,
while life keeps on happening
and constantly I need activity,
as it's a strange philosophy.

I am not off to set the world right,
have had my conflicts, wars and fights
but still I am trying to change things
with words and deeds and small happenings.
