Haiku of continued questions
At last God responds!
Hides God-self in a whirlwind;
very dramatic.
Questions, not answers.
God’s grandeur seems to excuse
him from answering
God holds all the cards,
suggests that Job is unwise
to ask such questions.
Make yourself ready
Job, almighty God’s about
to ask you questions.
God asks: Where were you
when I laid the foundations
of the earth? Tell me!
Who measured the earth
making sure all was in line?
Surely you know this?
Did you hear the stars
singing for joy when the world’s
cornerstone was laid?
We are impressed, God.
Hardly a fair contest, though;
you being divine!
