It thrives in my bosom like an unwelcome guest
I ask it to leave but it heeds not my wish
Instead it consumes while relentlessly growing,
Like a rat or a cockroach a despicable pest.
Like a huge corporation hungry for space
prepared to destroy all in its path
With no conscience or feeling it keeps on engorging
And time only serves to quicken its pace
Those words are confusing \"there is nothing to do\"
Yet apparently healthy, with no pain or malaise
Its hard to imagine and fathom the meaning
As experience confounds what I know to be true
My course is now clear the dealing must start
My goodness assured if this truth be denied
In exchange for my virtue a price must be paid
divine intervention must tear us apart.
Of course there\'s no movement No recession or loss
Apart from my wishes the guest just wont leave
Its made me his own now mind body and soul
In short I believe it is clearly the boss
Its obvious by now that if Im to defeat this
I must entertain some measures extreme
With loving support and a fire within me
I must tackle this monster coz its taking the piss
After hours of study and diligent reading
I come up with a plan that is spurious at best
It is tough and demanding to bring to conclusion
But hope is its infant, I cling to my breast
My life is restored now Im happy and healthy
Although like all pests a mark it has left
I consider myself to be spiritually wealthy
More since my visit from my dangerous guest
I have learned to be humble and measured and kind
Not to judge and condemn to have some peace of mind
For life is too short and we only have one
So please make the most of all that you find!
