DIPG

Here is a poem about an incurable childhood cancer. Remember that these kids die. They have only nine months to live their entire life....

Let me tell you about a monster
That lives in little ones' heads
Scaring them twice as possible
Without being under their beds

It leaves them very helpless
Rendering their ability to even see
And this is no made up ghost
It is the real face of DIPG

Two year olds or a fragile girl aged five
DIPG doesn't seem to care
And let me scream for once and for all
This brutal cancer, it isn't rare.

Girls or boys for all you know
DIPG never discriminates.
And what's sad is that at the end
We know these innocent kids' fate.

With proper research and resistance
This monster can be defeated, I am sure.
So for now let's all join hands
And work together for a cure!
