“Cancer is Everywhere
I see cancer everywhere
Everywhere…
I see people carefully examining
Food labels and ingredients,
But cancer is everywhere…
There are those jogging and those running,
There are those spending hours at the gyms…
And those increasing the amounts of veggies and fruits in their diets,
But cancer is everywhere, everywhere…
There are those totally cutting sugars and fats
Those taking multivitamins and other supplements,
But cancer is everywhere…everywhere!
Many no longer have time to smile or greet others
For they are occupied with eating more parsley and tomatoes
Or perhaps increasing their intake of
Blueberries, blackberries, or broccoli,
But cancer is everywhere…
You see them replace their water bottles and cookware
With others made from non-cancerous materials,
But cancer is everywhere…
Cancer cases are almost higher than
Refugees and alienation
Higher than human cowardice, compromise, and conspiracies…
Cancer cases are about to reach the levels
Of human fear of confronting the ugliness of what’s happening in the world…
I see everyone pretending
That what’s going on is none of their business
Just to stay afloat
To avoid getting cancer,
But cancer is everywhere
Everywhere…
[Original poem published in Arabic on October 30, 2022 at ahewar.org]”

Schizophrenia Kid will also eventually die, but before he does, he will be overmedicated with a plethora of drugs, he will alienate everyone he's ever really cared about, and he will most likely wind up on the street, living with a cat that will eat him when he dies. That is also sad, but nobody gives him a wish, because he isn't actively dying. It is abundantly clear that we only care about sick people who are dying tragic, time-sensitive deaths.”

“Cancer, of course, is a teacher, and I'm writing down the lessons. It teaches empathy and compassion. It teaches patience and forbearance, with all that seems to be failing in the world. It teaches tolerance of the mess we and others make of our lives. It changes one's ambitions profoundly. It teaches the strengths to be found in community, which are different from the strengths to be found in individual striving. It teaches one to adapt.”
