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
