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 257 - Election Show Offs - 3/2/1988

For ‘Unsworth promises’ to all new South Welshmen,
Is to be Premier of this State of ours only for glory,
For there is nothing good he can do for this State,
And just flashing his head for press releases will not make this State ‘Great!’

He has taken over from ‘Never Ran’, whose horse was always beaten to the line by others,
‘Never Ran’ mumbled and fumbled and waffled, ‘His man’!
But ‘ his your man’ has disappeared from a household name,
To the whispers of back street lane.

As the “ALP’ always use gimmicks to steal votes,
The public is not as dumb as the ‘ALP’ think they are.
Only militant unionists will keep Barry’s vote happy,
Not even the State Rail Police have confidence in you.

What the public wants to see in the government of New South Wales,
Are clean clear-cut policies that are kept to word by word,
By all members of that party lead government,
Who is respected for all legislations passed throughout their term.

So a team to lead for the State elections,
Of which they are gaining popularity throughout the community,
Will be the ‘Greiner/Liberal Team’,
As they are not ‘Show-offs’!
