Spider

Spider

I killed a spider this afternoon
But give me time to give my reasons
It was either me or him
At any moment I could have been poisoned

I don't know much about spiders
I was afraid that it would bite me
I was afraid that late when I'm asleep
My life would be taken from me
It was so easy to take the spiders life
Then I was drunk with power
- Now I feel regret
Because when I ran 'way
When they hung that nigger
I wondered if I was any different
