ALWAYS WAITING

I see you, all of you, lined up like a military regiment 7 ever so patiently. Your cover varies, your color varies, your shape varies, but you are what you are and may I add very patient. Innocent enough to look at, and even attractive in your own decadent way. Not a sound comes from you unless disturbed when then it is only sloshing or the clanging of glass from your ornamental cover. Are you the enemy or the protector? That is a matter of opinion. To some who do not see clearly yet, you appear to be the one and only that rescues them from their fears. To those of us who have "gotten it" you are the enemy, and a most deadly one at that. Just ask our families, look at our unhealthy organs, our demolished modes of transportation, the innocent we have caused to suffer. Yes, you are quiet, and sneaky to say the least. I give you that, and you are patient. You know how to wait and then you attack so cleverly we almost do not realize it. You use our own minds, emotions, and feelings as weapons to aid you. How clever you are. You are always there. Even though your numbers may dwindle you are constantly replenished in our factories. Yes, we have created you, or let me say we have perfected you. You will always be there and we have to choose, we have to either fight you or the thought of you, and what you falsely promise or we can fall from grace, fall from the wagon, and give in to what will be ultimate destruction. Yes we are those people who cannot handle you as the average Joe can. And you know it and pray we know it to. We are different, not bad people, just different. Your legion of troops have destroyed many of us, but many of us have survived and flourished after your attacks I for one am a survivor. I have been thought how you operate. I did not know before and suffered the scars of battle. You will always be waiting but I now along with other millions will try to be prepared.
