2nd placement Silent one contest

not for contest poems

 

loss of control. an aberration. a defect, when the perfection of creation is lost, a cell grows and grows without a stop, and all its purpose and function is deranged, it blinds the eye or strangles the bowels, floods the lungs or stops the heart! children die for no good reason… who can argue with such a demon? Hippocrates knew it and the pharaohs, but the disease was not as often as now, as greed grew bigger and hatred spread, more chemicals filled our living space, the demon grew stronger and stronger, now it catches and eats even babies in cradle, what was once a disease of the old now strikes the young before they have begun! as a doctor, I have held the hand of a dying 5 year old, waiting for his mother who was late to arrive, The tragedy of cancer is not in the disease, but in the fact that we are the cause of it, more we destroy the nature we live in, more poison we create for our own kind. A life of purity and green living, is the way to conquer many beasts of our times. true wealth is nature, that gives without count, no cash needed, no receipt printed. False world of man gives tokens of no value, awards and merits that perish with time. we wear blinkers of social prejudices and lose the greater reality of nature! Live in nature, love nature and be part of nature! A panacea for all man made diseases like cancer.

I sincerely wish and pray nobody gets this deadly disease and suffers. As a doctor, you would have dealt with so many cases and observed and experienced the pain of these patients, am sure. Loved reading your thoughts and opinion Krishji. Glad to see you posting poems. Congratulations on your win. God bless...~ Ani

Thanks Anitha. Cancer can be conquered if we change our life styles and the environment is safe guarded. At the minute, war, greed and commerce are playing havoc!

As a former cancer patient, I disagree with some of your sentiments, although I understand why you feel that way and respect your perspective.. Congratulations on your placement in the contest..

Thanks Kenisha! Having been part of science and medicine, I see late in my life, greater wisdom of being part of nature!

A brilliant explanation of the cause of this deadly disease - from a doctor's point of view, as well as from a kind and compassionate human being's. Really impressive piece of writing, Krish...you explained in a way I am able to understand how this demon works. To my fave. Please keep writing whenever you can. Warm wishes ~ Mala

Thanks Mala! So good to hear from you! Just ack after spending a fortnight on safari in East Africa. I feel strongly that the world has to shift from money and human driven values to natural values! We can overcome most diseases by being one with nature!

Hello Kirsh, So many types of cancers out there. I wish a cure for at least one of them. Is there a cure for any type of cancer? Enjoy your day my friend. /Darlene\
