    Alien Invader

    An alien lives inside
    And it multiplies
    As it lives, one dies
    The zest for life fades
    As the alien invades
    Eating one's life away
    With every passing day
    One regurgitates
    Loosing weight
    Regenerating cells of death
    Takes away one's breath
    No longer in control
    Cries from a desperate soul
    Clinging for life and reaching out
    Above and beyond all doubt
    From all the anguish and pain
    A shred of hope remains
    Options; there are few
    What does one do?
    Surgical intervention can remove the enemy
    Hopeful of stopping the ravished eating frenzy
    Inside a fighting shell
    Radiation raises hell
    Creating a shield
    Between living cells and those killed
    As one fights to live
    We pray that enough folks give
    If we give generously we can be sure
    Science will discover a cancer cure

    Cancer is like an alien living inside, friends with the host while at the same time consuming their life force. 10 from me.

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
