Damn you, Cancer

BlogAdda's Spicy Saturday Picks

 You eat people from inside
Ironical, even within healthy bodies you thrive
No matter how good they have been
To people around and even from within
Suddenly you surface
Shaking people from their base
Beauty withering
The healthy mane giving way to balding
Soul already shattered and charred
Body losing its sheer strength
What happens to my loved ones, is what they think all day
Why me? is a question that haunts their minds always
Kin’s heart crushed day by day
Helplessness seeing their loved staring at death in the face
Pain, angst, pity and regret
You bring along all before the finale
Robbing them of life
Much before you actually take it away
Damn you, Cancer
Humankind shall win over you one day !!!

    I lost two very close people in my life because of cancer. One of them was my aunt who fought for 6 years against it. This brought out the nostalgic memories of that phase.
    Nicely written though.

      Sad to hear that Bhavya.. May they rest in peace !! But those scary memories never go away.. If you have been through that phase, the mere mention of the word brings back the memories of that hard phase..

    Powerful address--you, you, you! Accusatory and exploratory of the triple-edged pain for self, for those experiencing and accompanying the journey. Thank God for them. Thank God for all the programs to fund science. Would we could also remove all the carcinogens from our environments.
