Crystalline Poems As Breast-Images Poem by Gert Strydom

(after A. G. Visser)


I A politician (crystalline)

He is a man that people do trust,
who only follow truth when he must.


II A theologian at a certain university (crystalline)

God does fill his own great intellect
but for Jesus he has no respect.

III The pastor (crystalline)

He jumps around to kill the fire,
for truth of problems do not aspire.


IV The elder (crystalline)

At church around him they do sit
but in the week he does not visit.

V A certain head-elder (crystalline)

He can hurt people in what they do,
but cannot walk one step in a shoe.


VI A certain doctor(crystalline)

He rather wants to be a friend,
than all the ill people really to mend.


VII A veteran soldier (crystalline)

To war by government he was sent
but no time with him they do spend.
