Terror, unchecked, can metastasize like undiagnosed cancer.
We're sorry, but biopsy on the lump we excised is MALIGNANT. It is in an advanced stage, meaning it has spread beyond its point of origin...
METASTASIZED.
Treatment options include using high-powered doses of medicine, which can prove lethal, or radical surgery. The cure can be worse than the disease...
METASTASIZED.
We must be more aggressive than the malignancy, if there is to be any hope for survival. We don't mean to rush you, but we need a decision as soon as possible.
METASTASIZED.
Terror is like cancer. Undiagnosed, untreated, it multiplies rapidly, ravaging everything in its path, ultimately destroying the human body.
What can we, as brothers and sisters, do to stop the hate that breeds terrorism like unchecked cancer? What can we do to find a cure to end the plague of hatred, without resulting in all out war?
Is war the answer? Is using high powered, lethal weaponry and surgical strikes condusive to the patient's well being? Is the cure really worse than the disease? Will the patient survive? Will WE survive?
I pray for peace, for all my brothers and sisters, no matter their race, their culture, their belief; I pray for peace, because despite differences, we are all the human race. I pray for peace...and my God...let it begin with me.
Vivid, heartwrenching write; love the anology you used in this write! Brilliant work, Karla; very well done! (((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :( >tears < *NEVER FORGET!*
Excellent analogy Karla! this is a top class poem and a winner in my book! You did an expert job of writing with this one!I agree with your prayer for peace, if the world would repent and pray there would be peace! God said so, but people are jaded with the mundane world believing nothing can change and so nothing does.

I like your concept of terror as being compared to Cancer and metastasis..But there is a causal link missing which is site--as to where the tumors are located..I remembered a story of a heart sugery
where the surgeon replaced the left bicuspid valve whereas he was supposed to operate on the right one...similar operations on eye, brain..and even Kidneys have been reported..
I would argue that there can be a big margin of error about the jugdement and prognosis!
Fantastic and absolute. Terror is like a cancer...it does grow. And an all out strike will sometimes kill the patient and not the cancer...I agree ~Peace Is The Answer~
Great write and a powerful statement.

This one hit hard, a friend of a friends and mine has discovered a lump in her breast and is going to get it checked, the fear alone is enough to swallow her up!

Sometimes people just hate another for no reasons at all. No one wants to be on the receiving line of the hatred. It is very destructive.
