I hide in unseen places and go about my work silently

I never sleep and I am everywhere you are.

You can not hide & I will give you nothing.

I will take everything you have and seek more.

I spare no one. I respect no color.

My victims are rich and poor,

young and old, strong and weak.

I massacre millions each and every generation.

I destroy more people than all wars combined.

Children shall know me to their eternal sorrow.

I have brought you great misery

By replacing freedom loving government with tyrants.

I played a major role in the downfall of great civilizations.

The Prince of Darkness alone sends me into your life.

Once allowed inside, seldom am I asked to leave.

You have been warned of my presence.
