Poem for 2nd Sunday in Lent NL Luke 13:1-9

It’s so easy to look

And see the pain

In the world out there

That’s not all that sane

And say to ourselves

It must be God’s will

That evil has come

And yet still

I just don’t know why

Some suffer so much

Didn’t they follow God’s plan

Or his commandments and such

Christ tell us No

And never does say

Why the evil’s on them

Why it happens this way

Then the word comes to us

The word to repent

Don’t worry about them

See how your own life is bent

The fig tree grows

So green and so tall

But without bearing fruit

Some say it will fall
