James Fraser Poet Rhyme

Comfortably Numb

Cancerous treason
Of this Human Race
It's what my father
Had to face
 
Why it fires
No one knows
It gets a grip
And grows and grows
 
What sets this vengeance
Of Human Life
To take a Husband
Or a Wife
 
To venture
Take our Children too
In our race
What do we do?
 
Expenditure helps to cure 
Hopefully be so sure 
Eradicate this evil C
From all of you and me
 
All as it can become
Why families are
Comfortably numb

Christine Adams August 31, 2020 at 2:12 AM Hi James, Just read "Comfortably Numb" It reminded me of the sobering cold light of day feeling. Stark reminder that all is not well at times. Hard fact of life to overcome. Hope your words helped you release some of the pain.Very poinant. Beautifully written. Christine Adams.

Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser October 13, 2014 at 7:42 AM there are many types of cancer.. it killed both my randfather . but cancer can also be a metaphor to some situations and attitude of some people .. "comfortablt numb" that"s very catchy intriguing title James Fraser October 13, 2014 at 3:24 PM Not one of my best poems, but poignant as this terrible word took my father away back in 1976 when I was 15. The title of my poem in a track title by 'Pink Floyd' - as I mentioned before, there is so much music through my poetry, James :)
