The Evil Twin

At the darkest end of the rainbow

It lies,

The balance of vitality gone askew

Unleashing its evil side,

It creeps slowly then bares fangs

With speed,

Potent beyond regulation

Its aberrant seeds,

That will grow into whatever they want,

That will grow however they want,

That will grow as much as they want,

Taking shapes of

Flesh and blood and bile and bone

And twisting their faces so

They're recognisable no more,

As if mocking us and our prayers

For Growth-

The immoral, the immortal side of the coin,

Cancer, the evil twin of Life.
