Are spiders all bad? No, 

But why are we scared of spiders?

Spiders creep and crawl in the night, 

Set webs and traps for innocent flies, moths and gnats

Eight eyes and alienistic, but you claim we still need them.

You scream not all spiders, but the spiders still bite.

So many bad venomous spiders yet we defend them.

So scream not all spiders, let them strike in the shadows

Let them bite, intoxicate and take more over.

Are we all scared of spiders? No, 

Are all spiders bad? No, 

But mimicry, false setups and webs that trap exist

We are never safe if the venom still runs.

So are all spiders bad? No, 

But enough are.

They pull and lure you into their webs. Obviously not real spiders, y'all know what I mean.
