If Cancer’s on the rise without much cure; <br />Then blame the air, food, water-pollutant; <br />The dismal scenario, we must endure; <br />What steps have we taken to curb but chant? <br /> <br />Our genes are changing fast, yet man's the cause; <br />We spill the oil and dump nuclear wastes; <br />New carcinogens then become our boss; <br />Man keeps changing most things including tastes; <br /> <br />Why blame the earth, our fate and God and Stars? <br /> 'Tis men who had put Nature in shackles; <br />And things get worse by man-made ugly wars; <br /> Man must not change environs, he tackles. <br /> Let better sense prevail inhuman minds; <br /> All man-made dirt can't be hidden 'hind blinds.<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-on-cancer-2/
