Haiku for the impatient
How long must I cry?
The prophet complains that God
isn't listening.
There is much trouble
and God seems not to notice.
Take some action, God!
Justice is failing
with the wicked prevailing
over the righteous!
The prophet watches
and waits. What will the Lord say;
how will he answer?
Here is the vision,
says God. It will come to pass;
wrong will be made right.
Write in large letters
so that ev'ryone will know
the day is coming.
Look at the proud ones;
God's spirit is not in them.
The just live by faith.
