Yes it is cancer, <br />a sternfaced doctor, <br />one for the stars <br />pronounced at once. <br />I am so young, <br />and a celebrity <br />she said, her tearful voice, <br />accusing, although timid. <br />But why, after a minute of <br />denial and confusion <br />it seems that young ones <br />now fall ill with this dark monster. <br />The answer was, if nothing, <br />a plain lie. <br />The cause of carcinoma <br />of the mammaries <br />is failure to do screening, <br />called mammography. <br /> <br />The logic was unreal, <br />and nothing but deception. <br />Again, it was pure greed <br />that motivated all. <br />Like guns that do the killing <br />and screening does prevent, <br />in either case dishonesty <br />was present from day one. <br /> <br />Mammography does cause, <br />no doubt, new cancers frequently. <br />The innocent who went to screen <br />will be new victims soon. <br />New evidence has also shown <br />that of those who do nothing <br />their cancers let them live a while <br />far longer than than expected. <br />To cut and burn, bring out the chemo <br />is good for the economy, <br />malignancies, however are <br />like housepets in exotic ways. <br />It pays to take much care in choosing <br />which route is best for you at last <br />it is your life, so be informed <br />you have but one, it's not for sale.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/breast-cancer/
