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?
