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 74 - Liberals - 19/6/1984

Should we subject ourselves, to a government in power?
Could they stop the wars, the cold and the rest of the weather?
With a choice of socialism or individual prosperities,
There is only one to choose and I’d leave that to your own capability.

Indirect taxes introduced by socialist governments,
Lead to unrest in communities and higher inflated rates.
“May those who aren’t employed, be employed”.
These are always to be said of men, of the two-headed.

Brining the employers down to the employees,
Let all have more legal 'Sickies',
Institutions and new government departments,
Be programmed to do new work.

Decrease our popular dole bludgers,
Make them work and they’ll be whingers.
May we tax private bank accounts of individuals,
And death duties, on top of every will!

May we legalize legislation, that hasn’t been passed before?
For example, the homosexuals: all they want is more!
May we squeeze what we can get from the rich and give it to the poor?
So that, when inflation is looked at, it skyrockets high!

Let those gun shooters aim their gun at us,
And we don’t see to make any fuss,
Whereas new community centers rise up,
Who pays the taxes? All of us.

May the government infiltrate all companies?
And suspend all inconsiderable union strikes.
Due to inappropriate regulations and laws,
Our society could end up being a socialist government.
