Gert Strydom Poems

Russian missiles off-target did into Poland go,
they did two people that they do not know kill,
where as Russia acts on it the world should bestow,
where they do at will innocent blood spill.
...

'The war in Ukraine will continue
until the complete defeat
of Russia. We have already
lost, the rest is just a matter
...

It's hard to move weapons and equipment
while in Ukraine it's muddy all over the place,
where people do a terrible winter face,
...

When a big lunatic dreams of conquest:
to restore an empire as it was before,
then in rubble children die in guts and gore,
and this inhumane killing does all humans test,
...

Iryna, today the fighting is intense,
we fight to halt the Russian advance.
in the barrage to eat chips I got a chance,
in all of this my love for you is immense,
...

(for Annelize, after Elizabeth Barret Browning)

I love you by God's perfect will and grace,
where along with me you do strive for right
...

I am a farmer
who are up before first light
and I drink my coffee
between the cows in the stable
...

The howl of the magic guitar
brings me intense pleasure
and he is stroking string after string
...

Making love
should come naturally,
should be something of passion,
filled with romance
...

When that wimp of a Englishman
called Cecil John Rhodes
decided that he wanted gold,
that the diamonds in his pockets
...
