SPIDER THEORY

A friend of mine,  
when back in school.  
Went hiking one day,  
Through the local woods.  
A science project,  
on the difference of,  
arachnids vs,  
the common bug.  
Finding many spiders,  
though leaving behind,  
the ones brightly colored,
fearing deadly bites.  
Little did he know,  
the simplest looking one,  
held the strongest toxin,  
slowly killing him,so young.  
I think about us humans,  
in comparison to spiders.  
Avoiding all the"strange ones,"  
as if their color's brighter.  
Even though the flashy ones,  
can kill you just the same.  
The quiet ones who blend in,  
have the most venom contained.
