Topic tags/keywords: question I am more powerful than the combined armies of the world. I am more deadly than bullets, I have wrecked more homes than the mightiest of seige guns. I spare no one, and find my victims among the rich and poor alike, the young and the old,stong and weak. I massacre thousands and thousands of wage earners in a year. I lurk in unsean places, and do most of my work silently. You are warned against me, but you heed not. I am relentless, I am everywhere, in the home, on the street, at railway crossings, and on the sea. I bring sicknesss, degradation and death, and yet few seek to avoid me. I destroy, crush, and maim; I give nothing, but take all. I am your worst enemy. I am ????????? -- "Even small steps makes a distance." (Shawn Phillips, musician) |
