Gert Strydom Poems

South Africa is under an oppressive regime
and Biden is creating economic hardship:
the liberal elite lash with prices as a whip
in a big global new-world-order scheme,
...

(for Annelize)

It's cold this morning and cloudy and grey,
outside it rains and the doves coo and gambol
...

They did women and of the little girls rape,
the innocent was both tortured and slain,
no civilian was give a chance to escape,
a boy did nothing to the Russians explain.
...

(for Annelize)

Still I have the feeling of unrealized love,
I recognize you at any time or place,
...

The Police chief in Popasna, Oleksi Biloshytsky,
said Russians use onion bombs to set people alight,
of this phosphorus civilians have great fright,
as they do the deaths by ferocious burning see.
...

I do through and through know real loneliness.
In any time and any kind of place
I will recognize your beautiful face
its charm its character and loveliness.
...

My mouth fired off like a Howitzer-gun:
barrages to maim and inflict great pain,
as long as Russian soldiers were in the Ukraine
at Putin, but he was not the only one,
...

(for Annelize)

It's another lovely day with bird-song,
yellow-weavers twitter while the morning-star still shines,
...

From a soldier or reporter in the field
if you do get a call from the Ukraine:
by geo-location the position you can gain;
an archive database does about weapons yield:
...

(for Annelize)

You are my angel of heartache, joy, sorrow and fun
the one with whom constantly I want to be,
...
