Stagnated carcinogenesis accelerating upon gene pools,
Oncogene morphed metastsis spreading exponentially.
Burrowing aardvark diseased snout digging, human termites,
Carcinogenic growth of industrial, smoking pollution,
Interwoven broken weave, houndstooth’s cancerous fabric.

Bibliomaniacal collections of medicinal stacked cures.
Detoxicant injections, dietary migrations, blood transfusions,
Each word, hope on a library, digging its nails above graves.
Cancerous lesions tamed by chemotherapy nightmares,
Battles of two worlds, destroying the sanity of the living.

Researching words of herbs, remedies, rabid concoctions,
Spirit drained of lost hope of living suicide, still fighting!
Ever breath, a challenge to regain the positive initiative.
Space vacuum of tears broken upon smiles gone south.
Somehow, a ghost still haunts the spirit’s heart beats!

For you must challenge life upon every breath, of
Every step, as if a child wailing for the first time.

Carcinogenesis the production of cancer

Metastasis a : change of position, state, or form  b : the spread of a disease-producing agency (as cancer cells) from the initial or primary site of disease to another part of the body;  also   : the process by which such spreading occurs
2 : a secondary malignant tumor resulting from metastasis

Oncogene a gene having the potential to cause a normal cell to become cancerous

Bibliomaniacal extreme preoccupation with collecting books

Thank for your concern, but thank God, I do not think I have any cancer, for it can happen so quickly. I am writing this after I talked to someone about cancer.

Bless you and your health.
