It
doesn’t really matter what we do
in
our own finite occupation
of
planet earth, so one theory goes.
All
the pollution and the global warming
and
the depletion of the fishing stocks
and
the extinction of various species;
not
our problem.
And
all the refugee camps in border regions
and
the ragged children on the smoking
garbage
mountains and all the repression
and
the fear
and
the greedy corporate exploitation
and
all the political lies; about these things
we
need have no concern.
Because
Jesus is coming back.
Yeah,
Jesus is coming back
and
he’ll wave his hand, his magic
Holy
Spirit hand, and the new heaven
will
replace the old, and the new earth
will
take over from the old
and
everything will be clean and fresh
and
smell like a pair of shiny new shoes
just
out of their box.
Or
so one theory goes.
And another that provides something of a comment on the gospel for Sunday that some of you might enjoy.
