Diabetes, The Palindrome of Diseases

Why be happy?

Do you feel that?

Thats your heart beating.

Those are your lungs breathing.

That's your kidney cleaning.

Those are your eyes reading.

Those are your nerves pulsing.

That's your pancreas working.

For now.

But

Will you feel that?

Your pancreas quiting.

Your nerves dying.

Your eyes losing focus.

Your kidneys failing.

Your lungs weakening.

Your heart stopping.

Why be sad?
