The Killer With No Cure

A six letter word
That drives others insane
It makes children cry,
They have a hard time remembering the name
A six letter word
That could make a grown man cry
He is scared,
He does not want to die
With so much life still ahead,
And still so much behind
A six letter word that makes families get together and cry
They are all scared for him
They want him alive
A six letter word, that there still trying to find a cure for
Who knows how long that will take them though
A six letter word that breaks my heart,
Where can he hide?
He does not want to die,
One day, they will find a cure;
But one day, he won’t be here anymore
