An Uninvited Guest

"Oh, our uninvited Guest, You came into our family without any concern, And brought us endless tension. You found a comfortable place to start your duty, And slowly erased our life's beauty. You stayed with us through every good and bad, And drained the strength of my dad. However my guest, you taught us the value of mom, Though you caused us harm. One dawn, your friend took away my dad, And made our family sad. Hey, cruel guest, why didn't you take rest. Hey, arrogant guest, haven't you quenched your killing thirst. At another dawn you came like a devil, And forcibly took my mom's soul. The world calls you 'Cancer', But I call you a Monster." © Manju
