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 ?????????

The answer is

CARELESSNESS.

But Complacency will do to. Cool Damien, Lew and juniorjock.

Amazing how all your answers actually does fit. ————- Perception. ————-I’m sure that there could be many different adaptations to this “poem”?.
This is an exerpt from my old high shcool woodwork shop excercise book (circa 1976).WOODWORK Drawing and Technology. Maskew Miller. (Senior Secondry Standards)
The reason why I posted this is that there has been quite a few posts latley about workshop saftey.
And how we tend to ignore them somtimes.
Thanks all : – )

I think this is a great thread. What makes it great is that just about all of the answers could be correct. It just depends on how the individual thinks…... Good post notottoman!
