Notes About The Poem

Macabre Can-Can

the chemo…the cancer…the fungus,
bowel obstruction, pneumonia…
all joined hands, 
in a macabre can-can to kill her.

Ooohoo! What a nightmare! My sister died from cancer and it was not nice. Good write though. God Bless and I hope this isn't about you or anyone you know. JB

A horrific painful experience, dearest Kim. I do not wish anyone to go through this! God bless you and keep you healthy!

Thank you, dear one. Unfortunately my mother died this way :(

It seems to be the norm now a days Kim, so hard getting use to it'. Great poem and message,

For sure. Kick cancer down the street, over the cliff, into the abyss…and don’t you come back will be the echo…

A very deplorable state of affairs, indeed.

Sadly the immune system unable to fight off the invaders. Tom

Of course no immunotherapy was introduced…just stick to the plan and kill the patient…oh and collect the money. A sad business! Thanks, Tom

This is sadly what happened to my mother also. 11 Chemo treatments later....

May 25, 2022 at 1:12 PM

But they got their money. What if they had to cure the patient first..ah ah…that’s an idea. Thanks, Caren!
