Pink

The corruption of the pink ribbon movement is appalling.

Pink

 

Pink ribbon on her shirt,

trouble followed her since birth.

Tired smile,

near the last mile

She begins to cry.

Another month, another friend dies.

A pink ribbon, a speech of lies;

No causes to speak of, no cure, no questions- why?

A sea of pink

circles the sink;

it’s back again.

-That all too familiar pain.

Dad wears a ribbon for support,

millions invested in false reports.

I dont know...sounds like a conspiracy?
do tell?

Basically they do the same research over and over and do not look for new causes, like environmental. So they basically have made no significant change in the last forty years; the same drugs used in the 70s to fight cancer are still being used today. There's also no movement on prevention, because they don't pay for research for it.

I really should listen to the news more often. I have no clue what the hell is going on out there. Next thing you know, the leader of the most powerful nation on earth will try to ban our guns...

Good write, Inda; thanks for shedding some light.
