We Say Cancer Can Be Prevented Too

World Cancer Day and what should we say

Eliminate the threat of Cancer through the way

So many of us live, indifferent that we

Are exposing ourselves to this threat daily

Yesterday I took him on a precautionary check

Couldn’t pin down his ailment, he was not a total wreck

And it was hard to get him to go but I felt the change

No more could he climb our stairs as fast and this was strange

Cough the doctor said as he probe to investigate

Exhale he said, hold it again, he tapped his knee and said wait

Results came too quickly we were both unprepared

Cancer! What do you mean? I never smoked, never cared

And the doctor asked about his friends and the club

Never did he thought of the side stream from the pub

But it was clear when the doctor told him it was there

Exposure every weekend in every year

Pointless now it seemed, that he had otherwise lived healthy

Regular exercise and eating the right things routinely

Except the results said he was now too late

Very many like him neglected and suffered a similar fate

Exercising is important and eating the right stuff too

No excessive alcohol, no smoking and be sure that you

Take the time to have regular checks but with all this

Environs contribute to a great percentage of the cancer that exists  

Detection early helped him but we learned that for better protection

Take more interest in infections and spend fewer hours in the sun

Only then can you fight off these threats on you

Once we do this then Cancer Can Be Prevented Too
