Wildfire
it's devastating
painful... terminal... deadly
spreading like wildfire
taking the young and old with
zero discrimination
it's a death sentence
if caught too late...early grave
may be the sad fate
of those souls who never knew
they had the deadly disease
Chemotherapy
helps to prolong many lives
but the side effects
can be just as horrible
as this terminal disease
A modern day plague
that ravages the body
leaving just a shell
many hoping for a cure ...
.... while praying for miracles
