a silent killer;;
lurks the streets ,
wiping out almost all it
meets, it carries no
weapons , for it has
no fears ,
it doesn't need
a gun or a knife to bring you
to tears.
once it has you in its grip
you are never free ,
one encounter and you
may pay the ultimate fee ,
every 30 seconds another
victim is claimed
this killer is c a n c e r
(or so it's been named.)
