THE BATTLE RAGES ON
THE BATTLE RAGES ON

Sneaky little bastard
Silently weaving his way along
Thru valleys and ventricles
His slime slithers on.
He doesn’t care of the wrath
He continues to cause to one
Nor the others that he hurts
He only finds a way to carry on.
Like him the urgency is growing
For new help, new paths,
And meds, especially new hope
For continued life for my friend.
As tears roll down
Hearts splinters some more
A need arises for all
Warriors ready yourselves
For the next stage of battle.
“All for one”
The battle rages on.
Look beside you to see
I will be standing there
Ready to do what needs to be done
For Casper the Cancerous Tumor
Will not be left alone
To reek his hell's havoc.
He doesn’t realize how many
Of us are here to fight for and with you.
Our shoulders are strong
Your weight we will bare
We refuse to give
That butterflying little bastard
His way.
I will stand beside you,
You need not fight alone.
The Battle rages on.
