Premium Member Forgetting Jonah

Woe to the city of blood,
full of lies,
full of plunder,
never without victims!

Nahum 3:1 NIV

FORGETTING JONAH

Nineveh suffers.
turn your back...don’t feel sorry.
how the mighty cry
in their evil-wicked ways.
mercy long, not forever…

Nineveh Is Here

I look at the lane,
I see a great black line,
With things that look like comets of fire
So fast they are.

It's the cars,
They are like flaming torches.
Already said the poet Naum¹.

As in Nineveh
The cars here beat each other furiously.
If they collide, they destroy each other.
They run like lightning.
Already the poet Naum had said.

¹Naum, chapter 2, in the Bible said.
