Unseen DangersA Poem by Elton CampThe world is a risky place.Unseen Dangers
By Elton Camp It doesn’t matter whether we are here or there Dangers we’ve no way to detect are everywhere When we learn it, there may be no way to swerve From the path of a drunk driver around the curve The person we meet who seems extremely nice May actually be one who has murdered twice The café where we eat, so very clean may seem But its kitchen is filthier than you can dream A doctor who on the state of our health does pass May, in reality, have finished dead last in his class So a person who thinks he’s safe and doing well May not even hear approaching disaster’s knell
