Suid Afrika, Luister<br />
Poem<br />
My provinsies is hol soos ‘n binne-oor<br />
Ek hoor hoe my bewoners roesemoes<br />
Liefde oes, verwyt, mekaar vertroos, skoor<br />
Soek met die goor hede, nooit tevrede<br />
Aanhou kibbel oor die verlede<br />
Luister, ek bewaar julle verlede<br />
My las word nou te swaar<br />
My grense raak voos van die eggo’s<br />
Te veel vloeke laat my paaie bars<br />
Jare se trane laat my riviere oorvloei<br />
So word ons saam verweer deur dit wat was<br />
My grens drade en julle gebede<br />
Fluister en knal al hoe harder om hulp<br />
Ongehoord in elke nag se ontskuld<br />

CALL FOR POEMS<br />
I like poems. Those make my day. … and here is the challenge.<br />
Anyone out <strong>there</strong> having poems? I would be so happy to see some.<br />
But not just any poem. As you can see, Johannes is excelling in Afrikaans poems.<br />
Can we do poems in all official languages? Can we do more? Can we use this as<br />
an opportunity to excel in our mother tongue (whatever that really is)?<br />
I have one myself (not so great, but I am also learning)<br />
Time<br />
Time is my friend<br />
Time is weird<br />
Time cannot be measured<br />
And yet we have minutes and days<br />
and years<br />
Time is now but time has gone<br />
and yet to come<br />
Yesterday cannot be measured<br />
Yesterday is not here anymore<br />
And tomorrow has not arrived and<br />
it might never be<br />
The only time we have is now<br />
and now is important<br />
And what we do now will be forever<br />
although it has already passed<br />
