Bursting Balloons

Bursting balloons spew cancer confetti Leaving one sick and frail Consuming cells; there’s fever, one’s sweaty One’s skin is dry and pale As mossy tentacles destroy their host While creating beauty of form Cancer consumes human tissue for growth Now battle the oncoming storm! The evil aggressor invades one’s cells Traveling an erratic path The surgeon’s scalpel leaves empty shells Increases one’s helpless wrath. Seal one’s sites of nourishment Deny the craving raider Their are years ahead yet to be spent Not hosting the cell invader.
