UNLESS…
(Luke 13:1-9)
Tsunamis, famine,
fire, storm events, volcanoes,
‘quakes – and people die.
Not the hand of God:
the groaning of creation,
our natural world.
‘Unless you repent…’;
a warning for the present,
or word of control?
As for the fig tree
perhaps like us it needed
care and nourishment.
