Evil Within

Evil Within

A Poem by Notapoet

It came inside

So silent and stealthy

Not caring if I was Sick

Or totally healthy

 

It hid inside

Unnoticed and unseen

As if it were a ghost

Malevolent and mean

 

Waiting to attack

And wreak havoc in me

Destroying my body’s defenses

Without remorse or pity

 

It spread like the plague

Infecting all in its path

Spreading its sickness

In the wake of its wrath

 

My body is now ill

But I'll not find a cure

From this blackness within

It’s a losing battle for sure

 

I don’t understand

Guess I’ll never know the answer

Why so many of us need to be cursed

By this evil called CANCER.

Yes, that question must sit high on so many peoples minds. The victims, the families and friends of all those that it touches. We are already made to decay as it is, as that is what life is, yet it still feels the need to devour more and more, as randomly as standing in a street pointing out random people to inflict.
Life is so precious, but certainly not fair.
