Negligence

If we could make of negligence an arm

It would cause disaster

Pains and wounds

And lead us to despair and failure

No one can tolerate it

It is the ruin of all hopes

We want to keep away from it

When we see its doing

From our minds we have to chase it

Together we will succeed

Negligence is the worst flaw

It destroys castles

And devastates people

It is even merciless

Its preys are here to show

That it led their lives to wreck

Look again around you

You will notice

The huge number of victims

Many are those who fall down

Because no one supports them

And all memories are erased

Because no one recalls them

Like an illness, negligence

Kills, blinds and paralyses

Like fire stired up with hay

Or like floods devastating frontiers

The negligent should be penalized

Their judgment must be harsh

They stole, killed and destroyed

They are worse than guns and knives

Negligence appears at early hours

Like a threatening shadow

Quiet and with a firm step

It goes beyond boundaries

Quickly it reaches the fatal end
