Tarantula Hawk
Large violet blue wasp with almost uncanny skill
Much bigger and very dangerous tarantula will kill
The sting hard as steel
The final paralyzing blow will deal
The wasp will take spider to the nest
Without stopping for a rest
To put his larva unto tarantula is his grim quest
Spider is still alive before larva it will digest
Violet blue is color of soul
And like that of a reaper is wasp’s role
Is his heart black as coal?
Or is it the need to feed the young out of control
But the wasp knows nothing of the soul
Nature gave him this role
As wasp primitive and automatic is human soul
Including my without justice at all
I can’t even be the killing insect from which enemies will hide
But some things jog my pride
And my pain for lacking fearsome ability will subside
Because before this is over I will have most fundamental justice on my side
