cancer man...
getting all the cancer you can,
cancer man...
running out of hands to brand,
cancer man...
spreading shine across the lands,
cancer man...
eating glass turned worlds, to sand...

and put to ease....your sorrows
this new disease, is borrowed
from the hearts of a thousand hollow...

so cancer man...
taking all the cancer you can,
oh cancer man...
pleace leave my head sand,
cancer man...
i didn't ask return from the fan,
my cancer man...
spread me back across land,

desperate to clean...
a desperate murder machine,
oh cancer man...
why do you take all that you can,
please cancer man...
don't leave my head in the sand,
oh no I'm the man...................I'm...the...cancer...man

*my take on disease and epidemics and how it can spread so frighteningly easy and how hopeless we are to prevent it or even contain it within ourselves, and i no its a little graphic, but so was the bubonic plague, anyways hope this didn't depress you like it did me please critique, thanks*

You have well expressed your fear. Indeed this is frightening. But HOPE does exist and prevention does help and there are many brave people coping admiringly with this challenge.
Let fear go!
Love, Margherita
