Danger

Dastardly dangers lurk wherever you are

They can come from far away or from right where you are

Sometimes the greatest perils are the ones you can't see

Tinier even than the legs of a flea

Evolution and Nature are a most formidable pair

Protecting and selecting

Death

To even those with the most savoir faire
