Spider caught in bag
wondered;
"Why are they
looking at me?My compound eyes see their eyes well -
I see fear and a tinge of misunderstanding!
I see anger and know not why.
They are saying
things I do not get,
I wonder if they are
going to eat me.If not, why would they hold me in this pen at all?
I do not understand this animal a bit!
I hear some
screaming,
And thoughts of
squishing me,Why oh why I say…
Do they need to do that?
I bite but only
when they come close,
I catch my prey only
to eat,Not to play with or make fun of,
I do not understand this animal a bit!"
Nature has a place
for all,
Not just humans you
see,Not saying you should not eat your food,
Nor protect yourself from harm.
May be we should
all think,
On how to minimize
harm,If a "critter" is not causing trouble,
Please let it outside your home!
