Silence Screams

I’m hurting Aching in pain Feeling helpless A quiet insane A friend is dying Cancer has set its roots There’s no denying I wonder what God would do It’s hurting Unfair tears fall Silence Screams Shatters on my wall She is hurting... And nothing I can do But wish her miracles " Give her a chance I beg of you" She's hurting.... And I'm dying too

Very heartbreaking, Arturo. My father died of cancer. I keep praying for a cure.

So sad and yet so Important to make aware. Children who get cancer or any life threatening disease breaks my heart into a million little pieces.

We have isolated these human battles with our obsession with needless things like weaponry and exploration! This is a vivid poem to put ourselves in their shoes. Thank for sharing this.

What an amazing emotive piece this is! I can feel the depth of your anguish and the utter helplessness you experience as your friend suffers from the ravages of cancer! Her grief is your grief - an awesome poem about the devastating effects of a deadly disease! Hugs. Pandita

Your last two lines broke my hear Arturo. It is absolutely ridiculous how a cure has not been found for cancer and yet technology is going forward in leaps and bounds - in 25 years from now everyone w ill have a robot in their house! A very sad but wonderfully penned poem my friend. Blessings, Jennifer.

'She's hurting// And I'm dying too. Nothing higher than empathy and care for a fellow human being. Nice, Arturo. ~ Gershon

So true. What a great write. It is all around us. Have seen it for years. Wish it would just go away............

There's plenty online to learn about cancer. It won't end. Our use of technology is only one source. It's a deep topic...happening in my family. If you live to be 84" you have had cancer at least six times and your body cured it. What we eat plays a huge part. Add genetics..stay way from XRay machines. Cancer loves sugar, too! Good one, Arturo
