Aggressive Killer - Anasarca

Smoke hangs in the air of the dying room

In it someone lies dying of cancer

Bald from chemo his head lolls

On a pillow dying of cancer

Eyes are open but he can no longer respond

Dying of cancer

The bones of his cheeks and shoulders

Protrude under taut skin

Cancer’s now eating lungs and liver

Thinking of the past, impossible turn back

Cell lung cancer — aggressive killer

Symptoms easily ignored

Cell lung cancer — aggressive killer

Within some weeks it takes a life

Smoke hangs in the air of the dying room

In it someone lies dying of cancer

Cell lung cancer — aggressive killer

Bald from chemo his head lolls

On a pillow dying of cancer

Eyes are open but he can no longer respond

Dying of cancer

Cell lung cancer — aggressive killer
