This was passed out at a safety meeting at the job site I worked on in New Mexico last year. I found it very profound and meaningful.
WHO AM I
I am more powerful than the combined armies of the world.
I have destroyed more than all wars of the nations.
I am more deadly than bullets or missiles, and I have wrecked more homes and jobs than the mightiest siege of cannons.
I steal billions every year.
I spare no one. I find my victims among the rich and poor, among the young and old, the strong and weak, the high level and low level workers. Widows and orphans know me well.
I rise to such proportions that I cast my shadow over every field of professional as well as non-professional, from the humblest laborer to the nuclear scientist.
I kill thousands each year.
I lurk unseen and do my best work silently.
I am relentless.
I am everywhere; on land, at sea, in the air, in the home, on the farm, on the factory job, on the streets and highways.
I breed sickness, degradation and death.
Yet few people make a real effort to avoid me or even take me seriously.
I destroy, crush, cripple and maim. I give nothing. I take all.
I am your worst enemy.
I AM CARELESSNESS
