Brain Tumour

By Kumkum Ramchandani

Horrible vicious tentacles

Desecrating the verdant red

Incubating like a succubus

Dark voracious parasite

Sucking leeching draining

Using precious fuel

To nourish evil vanity

A menacing spore

From the stratosphere

Spreading malignancy

Leaving little chance

Of meaningful regeneration

The body begins to give up

Lurching, swaying, stumbling

Hand-eye co-ordination

Is severely compromised

Relentless taking over of

Most body functions

We try to be stoic

But cannot mask the doom

In our moistening eyes

And then the radiation

Utterly degrading

Strapped in a torture chamber

Medieval monstrosity

That delivers intense heat

The head is charred coal black

The hair follicles die

And never rejuvenate

Turned forever hair free

Scalp defencelessly fragile

Lush hair gone forever

No dignity left

Say goodbye to masculinity

Say au revoir to pride

You are now a baby

And people around you

Minister to every need

With devastation in their eyes
