Cancer Big 'C'
Cancer, the big 'C', Do you think you mean anything to me? My Uncle has got you, You've taken my beautiful daughter too.

The Big C
A horrible disease that seems to affect one and all. We all know someone who’s succumbed to its fall, for there are no limits to whom it may call. To leave its patients so weary and weak, leaving the days and nights ever so bleak, through distant eyes we wonder, we seek. The summer months...

The Big C
Deep down inside, you found your place. You're buried, hard to get at, yet, on the inside, you're making your case. You know what you are. The Big C, the great destroyer of men, and women, and children. But not me. Because you're here, let's be clear, I'm here for the duration, and you came without an invitation. There's more for me...

It’s terminal….the Big C has struck Despite these prickly heartdart lyrics, man voraciously yearns for a glint of hope Incurable strikes the ears, accelerates to the brain, explodes into the mouth How Long…………………………Now, you always wanted a pseudonym, an identity Cancer victim, sufferer, prey—slithering around in the soul, you choose dupe When all is said and done, every person...

The Big 'C'
Existing in the realm, of its own true hell The pacing of the parasite begins to swell It suffers in silence yet demands to be heard It will never survive without its bevy of words As a thief of hearts, it sought our souls And refused to acknowledge the unspeakable tolls It relished our pain our faults and our woes Acted as...
