upon hearing Amos
Alas for those who are at ease
for those who are comfortable
but do not notice problems around them
Alas for those with money,
because money is easy to love,
but it takes work to turn to the Lord our God
Alas for those who are rich with perishable treasure
paper bills and metal coins, homes and laptops
silver and gold
Sing and celebrate, O Zion
lay the feast, O Jerusalem
sing to the ends of the earth
invite all peoples to this feast
because our God,
whose scarcity is beyond our riches,
gives abundantly to all of us who are in need.
