Jannie Breedt Poet Free verse

Psycho Babble

The orchestra was playing as Titanic was sinking as did Nero while Rome was busy burning and the priest whispered in the ear of the dying farmer that happiness is a choice and Beethoven was deaf when he composed the ninth.

They made the farmer watch as they continually raped his wife cooked and ate his testicles this is life you say as you walk around like the living dead all is well there is nothing amiss decomposing the ninth singing psycho babble songs heading straight for the abyss

Lisa Ricci April 10, 2017 at 10:47 AM Dear Jannie. Oh my gosh. I have no words. You have just stated it all. Bless you and those with you. To me the psycho babble is any government and any politician who do nothing for the people of the people by the people. Your words are beyond powerful. Jannie Breedt April 10, 2017 at 11:38 PM The extrreme cruelty of the farm murders defy description. Its a daily occurence and it is orchestratwd by government and their cronies. They took away our guns and the police are less than feeble. Thanks for your solidarity Lisa and Connie

God Bless, Connie Jannie Breedt April 10, 2017 at 11:30 PM The people took to the streets in their thousands and protested. The murder rate in SA in 113 per 100,000. The world average is 7 per 100,000. Folks its GENOCIDE.

Scott Thirtyseven March 31, 2017 at 6:01 AM Where are you? For this write seems like 90's Africa. I'm sorry but I didn't realise these acts continued. Wishing you the best, may sense come before wrath. Jannie Breedt April 2, 2017 at 4:24 PM Hi Scott. Tomorrow the qhole country is wearing black and Friday is a total boycott. The fantastic lies lead the whole world up the garden path. We are fearing a blood bath now.. therw is ao much disinformation on fb and social media. The truth is frightening

Freddie Robinson Jr. March 21, 2017 at 3:48 AM Very graphic but a personal poem of much pain and lament, Jannie. My heart goes out to you. I was not offended, I am a realist and a message poet. I get it. Love on the other side of reality. Powerful write. Love and peace to you, brother.
