Psalm G

poetchilde pondering:
why was it arranged apparently in heaven
by the God drifting reticent into the shadows
that wicked Haman was to honor Mordecai?

Marvelous! said his wife.
You’re on the way.

Bad omens! said his wife.
A sign of doom.

What was the hanged one signifying
By hanging on his own stake?
Repugnant in the afterlife?
Cursed by the stars?

Why does Proverbs say that those
Who dig a pit for others will fall
Into the pit they dug—and then
It doesn’t happen?Yet—
Haman died on the stake he intended
For Mordecai.And—
Daniel’s opposers died in the lion’s pit
That Daniel survived.
Do two examples make a word to the wise
That someday justice will be done?
Are there two words in Hebrew meaning ‘judge’?
Dan with El means My Judge is God.
Yeho with Shaphat means Yahweh is Judge.
