Answer:
What gets closer when you blink?
It's been around for millions of years, but is never more than a month old. What is it?
I follow the orders of only two. I respect the work of only two. I am in constant battles with many, Though one surpassed them all. With forces joined, We created hell, Until our mutual enemy fell. Who am I?
What do you throw out to use and take in when you're done?
I make you weak at the worst of all times. I keep you safe, I keep you fine. I make your hands sweat. And your heart grow cold. I visit the weak, but seldom the bold.
They are many and one, they wave and they drum, Used to cover a state, they go with you everywhere.
