The Topic of Cancer

A thread shared by many
Famous, unknown, rich, poor
You take with not a care

Life was unfair
Non smoker, stolen away
Others spared it’s fate

I would punch you in the face
I wish I could cut you in half
My mother didn't deserve you

Maybe you will take me too
But I will keep my zest for life
That is my revenge on you
