The Self Sacrificing Cancer

It comes along

Every so often

Were stricken

With The Self Sacrificing Cancer

We plan & work to answer

Our personal issues

With saved money

We want to use

By advancing our careers & livelihood's

After we've shattered

Self doubts of the future

With discovered clues of fulfillment

The satisfaction of this atonement

Unfortunately

Has to go elsewhere

Since life happens

Constantly & Unexpectedly

Like bailing family & friends

Out of predicaments

Beyond our control

A needy social toll

Will cause this cancer

To spread like wildfire

Once the decline

Of our financial lives

Have finally reached

Their wits end

I can only say that I stopped making plans many years ago...as always you get your message across with wonderful poetic precision...you definitely have your finger on the pulse of the often-maddening rigours of everyday life, and prove it with every poem you write...well done as always B :)

A needy social toll indeed... Well spoken, BP.

Some give and give...and what is left when the well runs dry, sigh, potently worded hon x
