Terminal Cancer

Cancer it breaks cancer it takes It erodes and corrodes body and soul Lingers and takes hold cant be stopped or controlled Terminal is with an apparent ending Loss of hope and no point in pretending Life span is against natures clock Head now on the proverbial block Spreads with ease the cardinal disease Painful fulfilment never set to ease Deterioration quickens as the body weakens The illness striving towards winning Beacons Inhabiting this life just day to day living Illness taking everything with it unforgiving Maintain dignity the only plea of life left Cancers taken everything will be till death Being the shadow of ones former self A serious turn for the worst inevitable ill health Oh its just sods law to over through a bad habit Of smoking only to contract lung cancer damn it Undetected unnoticed overseen by mere testing Cancer accumulating cells rapidly and festering Agonising pain fills ones veins no relief no escape The moment of death ones lonely never-ending wait In the last moments the death rattle echo's consumes last breath The only hope remaining is there's life after death.
