For years you lived amongst us, <br /> Eliminating secretly, our dear ones; <br /> Rich and poor, famed and unknown, <br /> Innocent and guilty, young and old. <br /> Oftentimes, spiteful of all precautions. <br /> We can't break loose from your fangs <br /> Irrrespective of how hard we fight you. <br /> You've played havoc with our highest ever technology <br /> Rendering into sinecure, efforts of our scientists; <br /> While you torment us secretly, yet openly. <br /> Haven't you caused us enought pain and anguish? <br /> Aren't you satisfied with your destruction? <br /> Through the years we've defeated your likes. <br /> But never have we seen a monster <br /> As cruel, hideous and treacherous. <br /> Nor have we been so frightened by an enemy. <br /> Not even when we were torn into different hemispheres. <br /> But now that we've identified you, there's one certainty: <br /> You can't exterminate our race, <br /> E'en though you keep playing for time.<br /><br />Frank George Mensah<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mankind-s-fatal-enemy/
