The Unknown

Fear death?

Strange waters

Measureless depths

Craggy hills

Endless snow

Wireless signals

Exposed wires

Unsheathed knives

Polluted beds

Fear of death

Permeates every breath

Day in

Day out

Known to man

For millions of years.

Whoever thought

Our experiments

With life

Would play havoc

With our system?

It was unknown

It was uncontrolled.

It was not in the least

Death.

It was torture

Of waiting

Of contaminating

Of rubbing and scrubbing

The unseen

The untold

And the unnerving

Sickness.
