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 259 - As The Shepherds Will Flock.... - 3/2/1988

I say to you people of Christianity,
‘Let us all listen carefully with time in our hands,
Ears open to any minute noise of words spoken,
And with eyes enlightened with the words and gifts God gives us’.

My children and brothers, ‘It is so true, I heard,
That our society is not keeping up with the teaching of God,
Even by stopping for one minute of the day to give time to God,
Is this true that we are all blind: not seeing the buildings in our hearts collapse?

Dear children, it is not too late to do your bit everyday,
It is not up to the world to stop for you,
It is the choice of yours to find the right moment,
To give a little of your inexpensive life: to God’s honour.

Pray to God for complete forgiveness,
And pray for eternal peace to everyone on earth,
Pray love for all the people who are deep at heart,
Even the souls whom have departed from the earth.

If you don’t want to pray, then read a few verses from the bible,
To show understanding of God’s preaching of love and peace on earth, years ago.
Forgiving sins of everyone forever more,
Making the people in hearts grows rich, but health is poor.

For there are lots and lots of many ways and things to do,
But only you as God’s individual Christian can decide for self.
So bring the good news of God deeper into our world,
As the shepherds flock, until the good words are told.
