The Colors Of Cancer:

by Scott Cole   May 31, 2017


I'm a multicolored character
Or simple lavender as a whole,
My lungs are white as snow
And my skin is black as coal.

My brain is a brilliant grey
And my liver an emerald green,
My bones are a bright yellow
And my childhood is gold indeed.

My appendix is a burnt amber
And my breast are pinkish too,
My blood is a pumpkin orange
While my colon is a dark blue.

My gall bladder is kelly green
And my stomach is a periwinkle,
While my prostate is a light blue
My sickly heart is red and fickle.

    shows its ugly face and it drains life from a person and you have
    given each part of it color to show the extent of its damage...

    scary and also a painful thing to be reading
