Haiku for reading the signs
Apocalyptic
imagery to puzzle
and to disconcert.
In those days, he
said,
even the skies will
rebel:
the sun, moon and
stars.
The end times have
come,
not because heaven
says so;
the planet is lost.
Look at the fig
tree,
or at the barrier
reef;
the extreme weather.
We ask the
questions:
Where is God in all
of this;
what are we to do?
When the master
comes
the servants are
expected
to have done their
jobs.
Keep alert! Wake
up!
The hour, the day is
coming;
perhaps it is here.
Again the question:
What does he expect
of you,
who carry his name?
