A South African Reporter Does Not Pray Poem by Gert Strydom

(in answer to Johannes Prins)

A reporter does not pray and still less a news-editor
and from God they do want to know what is going to happen next,
but God knows every lie that they do sometimes tell,
when they do state the truth along with deceit to set things politically correct,
where they do not regard God at all,
do trumpet sensation that fits into the political scope,
refuse to report the farm-murders and the country that is turning to ruin,
they do avoid any reports about the terror
and from God they do want to know what is going to happen next?
