Hand in hand they walk,
Indivisible, impossible to tell apart
A terror to many
wrecking havoc along their path.
Without gun or sword
Without bomb or bullet
They strike!
A deadly duet.
They can’t Exist in isolation
A weird symbiosis
Needing each other to exist
Crippling a nation’s resources.
A mother loses her child
They lurk in the shadows, grinning
A child loses her mother
They are salivating.
What can be done?
To rid the world of these two
Unfortunately, the answer lies
In the hands of a privileged few.
