Napoleon Bonaparte Poem by Gert Strydom

Napoleon Bonaparte



The world lay at his feet
and the whole of Europe he wanted to unite,
into Asia his armies swept
conquering Russia

until they met up with a fierce winter
and at Waterloo he had the British outgunned
until rain fell for days
and his big guns got stuck in the mud.

Whatever stories history, the Russians
and the British do tell,
against nature and its Creator
Napoleon’s armies did fall.
