CANCER

It began as a swelling Localized swelling Painless at first Then painful Then came a period of recession Oh! What a sweet relief Wellness reigns again Then again the swelling Only bigger now Persistent Bigger And bigger They say its cancer And it has come to stay No cure, they say The cancer has metastasized Through lymphatic vessels To distant regions Where it eventually Commits apoptosis. The conqueror Has conquered itself Relief for the conquered Succour has come Finally.
