A Vision of Jeremiah's God (poem for 11 September , 2016)


Another poem instead of a sermon



A Vision of Jeremiah’s God (Poem for 11 September, 2016)
Jeremiah’s God looking, seeing wasted land voiding
by foolish children working others full deprecation.
How easy it is for us to join sneering condemnation,
Them getting what they deserve for poor exploiting,
corrupting justice with the best government for sale
to the highest bidder, using laws excusing polluting
hate, intolerance and piling up all the riches looting,
while blithely prancing around altars bragging tale
how God must do God’s duty to shine down praise.
As heavens are befouled, they only progress seeing
That is not us”, we say, “We ne’er- do- ills in being
only acolytes benefiting of the actions of our days.”
Our noises refuse to hear Prophet say God's frown,
while insists the Divine due duty on us shine down.
