THOUGHTS AT THE BEACH AT NIGHT

  

    Can cells sense something's wrong
         when cancer starts?
    The body as a whole
         is self-contained, complete,
              compatible in all its parts.
                   Its function, features, fate
                        are all maintained.
    What is this maverick madness,
    counter-fate, a tyrant spirit
         rending all awry
              to sap and warp,
              confound and mutilate,
         a manic mayhem
              forced to multiply?
    What kind of baneful guest   
         is so engrossed within the selfish
              meeting of his needs
                   to damn his future,
                   jeapordize his host?
         Now everything that eats
         and s***s and breeds,
         the very stars and and waves,
         and wind and sand,
              must dread our gaze,
              the moving of a hand.

A powerful poem. I believe the body know when there are changes in the body. Poem is well written. Description was very good. Left me with more questions. That is the goal of a writer. A excellent poem.
