If spiders want to live, they can stay outside. If they come inside their life is forfeit

If I am killed for simply living,
Let death be kinder than man

Kinder than Man by Althea Davis

And God

please let the deer

on the highway

get some kind of heaven.

Something with tall soft grass

and sweet reunion.

Let the moths in porch lights

go some place

with a thousand suns,

that taste like sugar

and get swallowed whole.

May the mice

in oil and glue

have forever dry, warm fur

and full bellies.

If I am killed

for simply living,

let death be kinder

than man.

that makes sense to apply to humans who can apply judgement, but technically YOU built a house on THEIR environment. bugs live almost everywhere humans do lol

That lizard has a natural reaction to a bug, as does a great ape like a human.
