I spare no one, and I find my
victims among rich and poor
alike, the voting and the old, the
strong and the weak. I lurk in
uncertain places and do most
of my work silently. You are
warned against me but you heed
me not. I bring sickness, deg

seek to avoid me. 1 give nothing
but take all. I ant your worst
enemy. I am carelessness.”
