cancer -

eternal growth,
glorious growth,
all- and self-destructive
growth!

a mantra of lies told
to willing ears
unwilling to consider

what it is that grows
and grows
and never stops.

cancer.

it never stops, no end until
everything around it starves to death,

happily poisoned by the reassurances
of cooperation, death in altruism's gown.

it's not even a question of capitalism anymore.
it is a question of
selfish cells,
swearing their allegiance to a body
who will not be there to confront

the disloyal killers.
