Responsible

Cancer is spreading
So many people have it
In their breasts and throats,
brains and balls.

It’s really death.

Death is spreading.
A death that begins in the spirit,
long before it manifests physically.

Cancer is yeast.
It is fed and multiplies
with every angry, resentful
repressed, bitter day
that passes.

And what about the innocent children
who haven’t had time to become bitter?

I say,
we are all responsible.
