Of all of the vulgarities known to man,
there is one that remains supreme.
One that should be avoided at all costs.
Cancer.
To call another human a “cancer” is to call him a special kind of evil.
The kind that can appear
Unwelcome
on a doorstep and make itself at home.
The kind that erases
hopes
of the future as it takes the scenic route through a body.
The kind that can be chased away
but will come back in the dead of night,
taking siege mercilessly.
To call a person a “cancer” is to call them a special kind of evil.
