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 138 - Turned To Russians - 22/7/1986

Politicians making decisions,
Being criticized by us all, all the time.
The fear of guns, the fear of war,
Gets us worried, and start to make us talk.

Many times we talk of, murdering each other,
With no feelings, of passions at all.
We, as our own “Majors, Colonels and Generals”,
Are out to prove the point that you wanted too, art first.

Calm down al you hostile people,
Calm down to meet your peace.
There will be no “uranium war”,
Within Australia, at all.

We need Uranium, to protect our country,
To help defend and attack, so more.
These small groups of interruptive protesters,
Are just causing to be a nuisance in our society.

These I am led to believe,
Could be the “Underground Communists”,
Those are slowly working their way up,
The way up of parliamentary success.

At times there is mot much to be said,
Of these ‘Como’s', of which they are only humane.
But there is always the thought that we’ll all be ruined,
if our society is turned over to the Russians.
