His body began breaking down
in his early thirties.
He’d been strong and fit, and
couldn’t figure out why.
He went to see a doctor
and was put in a hospital.
He was probed, examined,
his blood taken.
Worst diagnosis possible,
cancer at age 31.
A year later, dead at the
young age of 32.
Why do such awful things
have to happen
to some young people
God, I’m asking you?
