Funny

Funny how a poppy can grow
Next to a black widow’s nest
Funny how something so beautiful
And so bane could reside so near

Funny how the poppy is actually
More deadly than the spider
Killing you slowly, secretly
Addicting you to its charms

While the spider makes no mask
The flower slowly removes your soul

Be mindful of the nectar of flowers
Respect the venom of the wise spider

Funny is a word best left
For clowns and butterflies
Funny has no place here
As you pick your poison
Addicted to opium
And gasping for air
