Haiku for the vigilant
Things we do not
know:
what lies around the
corner,
what is to happen.
The days of Noah,
eating drinking,
marrying;
just like us today.
Planet Earth is
stuffed.
Should be taking to
the streets,
not watching TV.
What price
relevance?
The things we’re
doing in church,
while the planet
cooks.
Does the Lord
return?
Will he come to fix
things up?
Not holding my
breath.
The thieves are
coming!
Climate change
deniers, all,
stealing the future.
On the far right,
fools
posit an infinite
earth.
Extinctions abound.
The party goes on,
so much fun! Don’t
disturb us;
we don’t want to
know.
We did not expect.
But no! They warn
us: twelve years!
What if they are
right?
Sleep on, you
Christians.
Would God let these
things happen?
Who else will stop
them?
