Cancer


Everyone is using wireless 

But we can’t seem to solve a simple virus 

We have antibiotics that are killing the body 

Does anyone see this it’s remotely obvious 

Chemotherapy and two jokers 

Because your odds are no closer 

They’re gambling with millions of lives  

just to collect some money 

Because they’re sick and cancerous

Trying to live with no sympathy

Getting fed poison through a tube 

How is this okay it’s not humane

They’re Buying people like they’re a domain

Using drugs to keep them tame 

This is messed up 

But people will do it for millions of dollars 

Their family members trying to keep paying the bill

Because their kid’s freedoms were taken at will

An endless burden with a endless hill
