Funny How

Funny how -
What I see now:
On her back the ladybug
Struggling against little thugs,
Ants, not gentlemen,
with a goal,
"Drag her down into the hole."

Funny how -
What I see now:
This micro tragedy
Reminder of my own trajectory,
Sin and death, no gentlemen,
with a goal,
"Drag him down into the hole."

Funny how -
What I see now:
Tiniest red and black providence
Reminder of my own recompense,
Christ, the Gentle God-Man,
with a goal,
"Take Me instead into the hole."

Funny how -
What I see now.
