It is my hope to live to see the day a cure for Cancer is found

 Cancer

 
It comes when you least expect it
blanketing your mind with fear,
a word you dread like the plague 
and hoped you'd never hear.
Maybe because someone you love
has been taken by it's curse,
no pill nor treatment out there could
this dreadful disease reverse.
Don't you think it's about time,
a cure should surely be found,
that those who lost their battle,
won the war for those fighting now.
Someone knows the answer
knowledge is the key,
candles lit the world until
Franklin discovered electricity.
For every problem there's a solution
every question there's an answer,
somewhere out there someone
has the power to cure Cancer.

Kathy,

I had an aunt and a cousin pass from this awful disease. I pray someone will find a cure and SOON.

Love and blessings,

Your poem certainly gets to the crux of the matter in a very direct way. We are all waiting and hoping for that eventual outcome. Unfortunately, cancer is a term for many maladies involving abnormal cells. So there isn't just one big "cancer" to cure. If we compare today with 20 years ago, many cancers are already cured. I have several friends who have lived through very aggressive cancers and are still living many years after. Progress on all fronts is advancing very rapidly. And as M.D. Anderson Hospital states it, "trying to make cancer history."

You are so "spot on," Kathy. Cancer has an answer that time, brain power, and determination will eventually overcome.

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
