The Famine Poem 35



Lord, do not send famine to the world

But you send your Word to the whole world

The fields are barren; no more crops

There is no food enough; to survive humanity


     The birds of the air are crying

     The creatures of the land and seas are wailing in tears

     The animals and calves are crying for food

     They are crying to Lord; unceasingly



How cruel we are Lord; keep barren our land

You gave us the best land; to cultivate

To produce fruit and grains to feed your creations

But we gave You ; thorns instead



       Oh; Lord our Creator, Almighty God

       How You made everything for our benefit

       But, You said that various crops are not our real food

       The Word from your mouth are nourishing us



Lord, You told Amos send the famine to world

But, not of hunger from the corn or wine

Not of the hunger of the food or water,

Instead, Lord will send famine for hearing His Word
