DEATH BY CANCER
Warped ambition
Ill advance
Rhythmic affliction
Ruthless insistence
Reasons we cannot explain
Instincts we can trust
Events we cannot foreshadow
Reminiscence we can lust
Dilute past regrets
Focus on present calling
Archaic ties grasp
Susceptible to falling
Rendered by fault
Conquered by certainty
Feared by all
Discerned by nobody
Addicted habit formed
Harmful daily use
Loved ones scorned
Self inflicted abuse
Reality sinks in
Embrace the torment
Justify every sin
Prepare for execution
Your time has come
Accept the fact
The damage is done
No turning back
Cancer won the battle
Your body lost control
The poison was fatal
No antidote to console
Merely words engraved
Concrete becomes new face
Inevitably fading with time
Name is all that remains
