Curing the Cancer
"The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty." (John Adams)
I've imagined how to fix things.
I've imagined a plan, too.
But I can't tell anyone.
If word were to get out
It might disappoint you
What I've been thinking
But the cancer has to go
And all things around it,
Or we won't be safe.
I'm not a bad person,
But the cancer will kill us all
If I, and you, don't kill it first.
I don't like how the cancer
Makes me think and feel,
And I'm struggling to be kind.
Doing nothing implies I'm fine,
We're fine, with the cancer
And what it's doing.
But I'm not. You, either, right?
We're dying for a cure, hoping
Someone will do something soon.
It's not my nature to be bad,
Yours, either, I know,
But we may have to be.
I don't want to live like this.
Remember me kindly, Lord,
For what I may need to do.
If I can figure out the execution,
I'll do it, for everyone, so we all
Can once again live cancer free.
