There is a cancer

in our country and our culture

it grows and expands

like a menacing pathogen

 

the ever-present Social media

is as lethal as cancer

there is nothing Social about it

what once was a good country

is now debased and ugly

sickened by hatred

infected with revenge

 

the question is

can we cure the cancer

or will it mestastasize  

and leave us too sick to recover

 

we once were

a strong and vibrant country

now we are sickened and weak

this malignancy has spread

to our minds

and to our hearts

 

this Social Cancer is much worse

than a virus

there is no vaccine

no test

everyone is vulnerable

 

all we can do is

stay strong for our children

teach them right from wrong

set the example

culture cancer is bad

but there is a cure

 

Love is

the prescription

use daily for best results.
