The Enemy

Our enemy's sly and insidious.

To recognize it is hard.

It's always lying in wait

To catch us off our guard.

 

It doesn't announce its presence.

With fanfare and bold display.

Its surreptitious maneuvers

Easily lead astray.

 

What or who it is

Usually eludes us.

Its ensnaring grasp

Usually includes us.

 

How to rout it out?

We haven't as of yet.

IGNORANCE is our enemy

And also our greatest threat.

Well they say ignorance is bliss and it is until you find yourself in the midst of problem and find that it could've been avoided with a little more attention to detail.
