Huntington's Disease

Oh the horror of this terrible ill
Bringing down the ones we love
Destroying their brain and body
Changing them, ravishing them

One day after another 
Destroying their brain
Causing insanity
Causing them to hate the ones who love 

Why God 
Is this in some plan
Is it to see
How we can treat our fellowman
