First cry of newborn tunes in no language,
Last breath exits the body with no change,
Flows between these moments inside every human,
Blood in the same color, vigor, and dynamic rage!
Life exists uniquely in this vast universe,
Race, creed, and tones defined by us are so diverse,
Cancer invades cells, inhabits, indulges inside,
Unperturbed, unkeen about the external divide !
Then why! one needs to cry out in agony,
Staring helpless with no rescue, no money,
Broken, often with the new cancer diagnosis,
Moving ahead, enduring thorns of financial crisis,
Pain of body and the endless suffering of mind,
Is same one emotion for each, every humankind!
Worse than death is to simply live on through,
When what next to do is known, but no means to!
Cancer is one enemy, but why we stay far apart?
Truth exists as one Life, let us together start,
Not merit but by chance, some born amidst charms,
Every bit matters, when we give, we open our arms!
Inclusiveness toward humanity is our responsibility,
Health, equity, and access to all, our eternal duty,
Staying as one life against cancer on scale global,
Ensures every patient gets treated optimally well!
