Dialogue


After Habakkuk 1:1-11

Complaint:

Why me lord why me
why do you make me
see the wrong
see the injustice hate it
with my very soul
why me, why make me
speak the words
to the injustice
this saturation of evil
darkness you tolerate it
and make me speak

Answer:

I bring a wind a desert wind
a dry searing wind to flatten
and abrade grains of sand
whipping across faces hot
and tearing it is coming
from afar, horsemen upon
steeds of death destroying
the wind comes burning
a heated flames comes
