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 254 - Heartless Reasons- 3/2/1988

Murderer’s of masses seems to be a common daily occurrence,
With families being wiped out overnight,
And male and female relationships being destroyed,
To the neighbourly tune of gunshots in the air.

Some may seem heartless reasons,
The one’s that are so, are not so,
Yet with passionate killing of all mother’s nature kind,
There is no sudden stop and murderers are all kind.

The girlfriend has been caught in bed with another guy,
Or a friend is not considerate to that person anymore.
An argument with someone chose over nothing,
The reasons do not really constitute true reasons at all.

The person who carries the gun for human killings,
Is the person, who comes from any family background,
You could being a lonely quiet spoilt family,
Or a noisy large family, where you are not paid attention or listened too.

So don’t think you’ll have quite a restful night,
Every night after you lay yourself in bed to sleep,
There could be a family suicide/murder overnight,
Maybe not yours but you may have been close to it!
