Spiraling

Augustus

 

DNA spiraling out of control

Creates challenges manyfold.

 

Tiny fragments broken within

Alter brain, bone, liver and skin.

 

Many organs are not immune.

A double helix sequence hewn.

 

Environment spiraling out of control

DNA challenges the future untold.

    Cancer is such a big worry and there are so many forms - yes our diet and life styles are questionable as your great poem indicates.

    • Augustus

      I can't remember the name of the book I read last year but hormones in meat and residual pesticides were some of what I remember. Thanks.

      cancer nuclear war in the body, your facts are sad but true. the clock is ticking.

      • Augustus

        I'm in the hospital as we speak. The sand is running out of the clock. Thanks.

          I am so sorry to hear that, I wish you the best Augustus,
          get well soon!

          King of Kings

          Oh’ King of Kings
          I beg can you forgive me

          With your grace put my mind at ease

          I have walked down in the valley
          The shadow hath been cast upon me

          You held me up when I stumbled
          To the madness you brought sanity

          I faced the beast and I slew him
          You gave me strength you walked with me

          Oh’ King of Kings
          I beg for your forgiveness

          At times I thought that you had abandoned me
          I was afraid down in the valley but now I can see

          Oh’ King of Kings bless my spirit
          And let me walk with thee
