Press Advice
I was sitting in the office,
Writing important news
During this time
Rang the phone
I took a receiver
After conversation
I said something
And something heard
I shut the phone
With confusion and anger
And tore the news desperately
That I wanted to complete
And publish
However, I realized
I could not afford
To become a victim
And lose my job.
