Notes About The Poem

Though judgment for a nation cannot be revoked, individual repentance and salvation are still available. God's 'Protection Plan' actually works (1 Pet 1:3-5). The book of Amos.

The Phone Survey

'Least likely' times three,
Putting me through difficulty
To persuade me to go away,
Axing with, "Have a nice day..."

So much for a 'Protection Plan'!
That maze through which no one can,
Defeat the 'Crooked Counterplan'!
The 'gods of profit' win again!

(sigh)

'Most likely' times three,
These "gods of profit' turn beastly,
And poison justice everywhere,
Until their profit becomes a snare!

Israel's leaders blind and dumb!
Their nation so far out of plumb.
God sent His prophet, Amos, to say,
Their 'profits' He would drain away!

Despising 'God's Truth' cannot win.
'His Truth' rises to win again.
Jesus Christ is His 'Point Man', 
Look to His 'Protection Plan'!
