‘The Ant’s Surface’

The Ant's Surface

see me as I walk
amongst the damned
they seem helpless
unsure
‒relentless in their helplessness

see me as I walk away
from the sured
full of fullness
‒relentless in their fullness

I'd rather be a lamp
amongst the damned
‒the physician to heal
rather than a ramp
amongst the sured
who takes the physician's medicine
‒sells it for a profit

I've walked amongst the wicked
I was condemned
to the ground—slammed
for giving with shame
then taken and blamed

‒ I'd still walk amongst them
for they search for a chance
‒even a glance
to be near the physician
at hand
the one who desires mercy

I'd rather give the sacrifice
of time
for a poor man's change
then a wealthy man's kindness
for that kindness is surface
‒intends to rearrange
what God† began

I'm the ant
weaving around man's damns
to claim
those who are declared 'can'ts'

I collect them
‒seeds to plant
as God† takes the range
of my started romance
‒starts the change
that man's arrogance
can't rearrange

for that hand
I'm willing
as Yeshuah† came
‒changed
the outlook of man

up went the poor man
down went the rich

so I became
the ambulance
‒of servitude
bringing forth
the patients
welling to accept
a simple seed's plant
‒a rebrand
in Yeshuah's† name
becoming a child of God's† hand
and dislodging the fan
of man
