Cancer

Cancer come looking not afraid Will take control Cancer seeks out no one but infects everyone Cancer sneaks like a prowler at night Don't care about you or your feelings Cancer hunts you down like a victim you fall Cancer could care less where your from or who it is about to take you from Cancer hides in the dark but is as plain as light Cancer is strange and is aggressive as sin Cancer feeds on the young destroys the old Laughs in your face each time it multiplies itself Like a cockroach chases you from your home Long nights alone in hospital beds Reads you stories of missed dreams Tucks you in restraining all your freedom Cancer beats the hell out of you every minute of every day As it fights the radiation makes you fragile and unrecognizable Only a blessing of death can defeats its war But it wages on taking all it can and all it will Cancer is pain and we so need the cure. Rest assured as you Cancer does not rest we will eventually take control of you.
