BASKET CASE
(Amos 8:1-12)
Amos prophesied
damning rampant injustice,
making rich richer.

A hard word from God
foretold disaster and more
then no word from God.

The word of the Lord
absent when they need it most:
any word from God.

When did you last hear
no word from God in your pain,
dark night of the soul?
    Jeff Shrowder, 2025
