Along Came A Spider

Under hypnosis and certainly conditioned,
To ignore realities to never accept.
But to see from now on...
That which was dipped and flavored,
To mirage in sparkling colors.
And their lives lived would be forever wonderful.

Then along came a spider strutting and bold
Out of hiding to sit besides them to shock,
With truth spoken intelligently from its lips...
To then chase those frightened,
Away.
Snapping many back to see thmselves entrapped.
Disbelieving all they hear now that has been leaked.
