Cancer

We invite it by ignorance and gullibility

Cancer is a beast —

its thief, steals life.

Praying for you.

Generation apart,

united by cancer.

Such things we here,

but they don't matter,

it's wrong approach.

Would we cross a road

without looking both ways?

Definitely 'No',

if we don’t want

to be crushed.

Then why walk through life,

never familiarizing ourselves

with unknown dangers?

So many chemicals —

most are toxins for us,

sold as grooming products

food additives, or cleaning agents!

Fueled by insecurities,

we buy,

we are succumbing

to lies,

opening portals of

self-annihilation.

Cancer is not your enemy,

it's largely, just an outcome.

of our ignorance and gullibility.

    Cancer is a horrible disease but getting closer to a cure every day I hear. Just let them know you love and care one way or another.

    Thanks for spreading the word! My husband used to smoke when I met him, it took him years to quit, but he finally got there! I think having our son gave him more motivation. My sister, however, has brain cancer and I think she just got unlucky there 😞
