Cancer

I’m angry, I’m sad

feel so helpless

I’m begging you cancer

don’t take my friend away

You don’t discriminate

you take and take

man, woman, child

a mom, a dad

you just don’t care

Just like the plague

dark cloud above

What if we put

blood on their door-posts

would you pass them over

and

go

away?

You pick the good

the innocent ones

the ones with soul

a purpose in life

Now only one goal

SURVIVE survive

Hello chemo

goodbye hair

eat

don’t eat

no matter

you vomit anyway

I’m cancer-free

oh wait it’s back

cause when you go

you never leave

fear is there

will it come back?

I’m cancer-free

oh wait it’s back

Your mom had it?

Better augment

cut them cut them

hello implants

why take the chance

A lung? A brain?

Perhaps breasts?

Two testicles?

A Pancreas?

Like a kid at a candy store

So many choices

But please please cancer

don’t take my friend away

pass her over

just go away
