Sonnet: Cancer Today Poem by Dr John Celes

The fight against disease called cancer is
On-going for so many years but still,
Not much relief is wrought from its death-kiss:
The diagnosis made when one is ill!

Research is done with big money inputs;
New drugs are patented without headway;
The developments come out with ‘ifs’ and ‘buts’!
Most cancers strike in relentless a way.

No cancer can be cured if found quite late;
Prevention is the only way to deal;
Despite progress in science, unchanged is fate
Of cancer-stricken men – what scientists feel!

Doing unwanted things, man/ woman lives;
‘Keep body pure’ – advice God’s Nature gives!

Dedicated to World Cancer Day 2012
