FROM THE POET

This is a series of poems written by John Svododa over a number of years. There are times of peak-where numerous poems were written & there are also times of lows where there are long periods between each poem. As the author is trying to reach a goal of 1001 (and then retire!!) it was never envisaged that this would be done over a short period of time. Poems can be humorous, ridiculing someone or something, show a meaning of hurt or love or even project feelings that not necessarily be directed to the same person/thing, can be a reflection of life or to be life. Most poems are trying to send a message to the reader be it not understandable or nonsense.

The idea of this poet is not to have any ill feelings against anyone but to be read by young whom can learn about life – and by the elderly look back at what could have been. Some are very personal- but who cares when you are currently living in a life that has total enjoyment. Suggestion is not to criticize but to take in the enjoyment of creative poetry make it meaningful and thus may be you can be an author.

Poem Number 276 - Pauper's Richness - 18/4/1988

Flow across the glorious lands of our country, 
Of God, we work from strength to strength for money,
 And God , Oh God Creator, bring us into the wonderful being,
For it was  for you that we  so much mean to each other.

 For we give richness to the papers,
We give all our energy to you, my Lord.
For we, we ask for nothing much Lord,
Except to give us peace every day we live.

Our hands are sore  from working hard,
Our bones are aching from place to place,
And our mouths are talking to you,
For hearts are bleeding for you.

Our sorrow we give to you, my Lord,
Our sins you take away from us death  then falls,
The peace and love of Christ amongst this land,
Is nearly destruction without your love of mankind.

Son of the  father and of mankind,
Speak to me, for sweet lives,
 Amongst our flock is a black sheep,
To this day is meant to be a devil.
