"Cancer"

by Jeph Johnson

 

This is a song for those who doubt me
Those whom I've savagely loved
Those who no longer care about me
Contrasting you with the ravages of...

 

Cancer

 

Cancer transformed my will to live
Cancer brought me loved ones to be with
Cancer taught me my life is finite
Cancer keeps me warm at night

 

And in that finite space and time
In this world where I've made my rhymes
Cancer listens to the words I've said
While holding me close in bed

 

Cancer

 

You might live beyond my stay
But I've contentment 'til my last day
Cancer gave this eternal blessing
To someone you shouldn't've messed with

 

Cancer went out of it's way to choose me!
And was willing to grow with me too!
How does it feel knowing so profusely
That cancer is more beloved than you?
