Your Immune System
Maybe you don't think about me,
but I will fight for you silently
with complexity, as long as we live.
Though you seem to underestimate me,
I am a necessity.
Like an instituted patient,
you medicate my zest
and inject me with poison's prick.
Why must you suppress me?
I will do what I can with restraint's attempts.
Please don't worry
or deprive yourself of sleep.
Sugar weakens me;
so sweet, you bring me to my knees.
My armies will protect you
as long as you'll let them.
Restore your defenses with healthy flora.
Let me exercise in nature's breath
and nourish my strength on garden abundance.
From living cells to living cells,
I'm designed to thrive.
Like a spouse I'm entwined in you,
committed until the end.
You will miss me when I'm gone,
because without me,
you will cease to exist.
