Cancer Cells

'Cancer cells are those which have forgotten how to die' - nurse, Royal Marsden hospital They have forgotten how to die And so extend their killing life. I and my tumour dearly fight. Let's hope a double death is out. I need to see my tumour dead A tumour which forgets to die But plans to murder me instead. But I remember how to die Though all my witnesses are dead. But I remember what they said Of tumours which would render them As blind and dumb as they had been Before the birth of that disease Which brought the tumour into play. The black cells will dry up and die Or sing with joy and have their way. They breed so quietly night and day, You never know, they never say.
