Perilous Problems

Perilous problems, on the rise.
Valuable visions, offer new highs.
Marvellous missions, promise a prize.
Startling strategies, outline their demise.
Terrific tactics, begin to incise.
Audacious actions, require red eyes.
Perilous problems, change their disguise.

Makes me think that ...

It's not always as easy as some make out to trap those perilous problems. We often end up chasing the symptoms of the problem because we can't or won't track the real cause.
