Show WHO AM I? I have destroyed more than all the wars. I am more deadly than bullets, and I have wrecked more homes than Big Bertha. I steal in the United States alone over $7,000,000,000 each year. I spare no one, and I find my victims among the rich and poor alike, the young and old, the strong and weak. I loom up to such proportions that I cast my shadow over every field laborer, from the turning of the grindstone to the moving of every railway train. I massacre thousands upon thousands of wage-earners in a year. I lurk in unseen 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 house, on the streets, in the factory, at railroad crossings, and on the sea. I bring sickness, degradation, and death, and yet few seek to avoid me. I destroy, crush or maim ; I give nothing, but take all. I am your worst enemy. I AM CARELESSNESS! |
