people vs spiders and snakes napowrimo #3

spiders don’t scare me

neither do snakes

let’s talk about people

terrifying oh yes

scariest thing to walk or crawl this earth

ouch! People

some with hearts of gold, others

with hearts of stone

Are you scared yet?

I am always terrified

what will they say next (never mind what will they do)

holy wars

genocide

raping and killing children

torturing small animals

Hey! those are the things that people do

Are you scared yet?

  3. It's amazing how terrifying (and yet, at their best, inspiring!) people can be-- amazing how so many contradictions exist within a single species, huh?

  5. Much as spiders scare me, I'll have to agree. Spiders, at least, are simple; people are all the more frightening because they're complicated.

  10. Yes. There are some "scaries" out there. Sometimes they are people we thought we knew! Great! Thanks, Pamela!
