This tiny body full of poison
Your tiny legs so sharp and fierce
Your eyes camouflaged within your dark body
Waiting to grab hold of human features

Trapped in a suffocating box
Proudly displaying your deadly features
It shocks me enough to wonder,
How I am able to stand so close to you

Living in various habitats
Walking upon the unlevelled ground
Under the blazing sun
Leaving its poisonous aroma behind
