Say No To Chemo

You live in terror
Of an enemy 
That you feel you can’t hide from
And that you cannot see

You live in fear
Of a murderous curse
Also known as cancer, a tumor
Or worse.

You believe in something
Called Chemotherapy
With a 2% chance 
Of living happily

Have you heard of the things?
You could do to prevent  
Such a terrible illness
Such a terrible event

Cancer isn’t a death threat
But a dangerous foe
One that must be dealt with
With precision and woe

Do your research 
Before you begin
With chemicals and radiation
That you have no idea in
  
Try alternate methods
That can cause no harm
Except to the cancer 
And they work like a charm

I urge you politely
Say no to the fee
Of Radiation and chemicals 
To Chemotherapy
