the lost war

this disease
is hardly cowardly.
not at all shy, or
reticent. its
courage is mindless.
it races into battle
taking
no prisoners.
it has planted its
victory flag
even as the war has
begun. and yet,
you vow to live,
you say save me
men in white. save
me needles, save
me science. shine
the light of love
on me dear god and
let me live another
day.
