Editor, thanks for the poets’ column. We can't sit silent, the country's rotten. For the moment, please ignore the Hertzogs: study the Scriptures, Jehovah's hand—beating us. There! The prophet Isaiah informs us, Toughbreast from Gabriel's home. His prophecies are handsome, but not really stately: they don't appeal much from our point of view, like a lily in a damp river bank. The prophet Isaiah's not much help to himself either, because he is constrained by his domestic principles. Even heaven shatters boxwood in thundering “Let us come home” today, because we've satisfied our hearts’ desires. The Prophet Isaiah says Jehovah's horse has gone past here wet with sweat. It dropped a rock that unsettled him: Look at those sods! To you black community: we will fight amongst ourselves alone, because it is written so. We will be encircled and ruled by hostile kings. Jobs will be wrenched from us. So it is written; exactly as it is now. Jehovah will make you shake and tremble with fear because you lack the resources Jehovah will send you to fight the enemy. Because of your oppressors, you will cry out to Jehovah for the first time and he will send you a Saviour. Tell the owners of rivers too, so they know the country has changed. If I as God had not been so amazed, every last one of you would have been dead. Peace! Oh! I have said that cattle, horses, sheep and goats will grow hostile. You have brought this on yourselves. I will even withhold the rain. Peace then, Lake with a bonnet on top; Elephant grazing the plains—if you sleep on the way, you'll be lost; Eye of a tadpole under water, yet it can see above the surface; Black ox with one horn looking up and the other pointing to the ground. For a long time the Prophets of Truth have been telling us. There it is today, Thunder-and-they-shudder; we can see you thundering. Peace! Stabber with heavenly prophecies, Watersnake living in a bottle. We consider you good, but also dangerous. The prophecies about blacks have come to pass: Take a look then: we've been telling you for a long time.
