Spider wages war…web ravaged by the wind
Man takes up arms…slightest provocation
Arachnid rebuilds…mankind doesn’t mend
Tribes slaughter tribes…nations destroy nations
Hostility hath…no special preference
Color of your skin…last name of your kin
Civilization…has strange reverence
Clash of steel, cannon fire, unceasing din
First tributary…man hath rocks to throw
Both sides needing…precious gift of water
Life giving fluid…’tis taken, blow by blow
Conflict derived death…Stone-age sons, daughters
Doth solution lie… with lowly spider?
Or war, man’s mistress…tears lie beside her
