The Prize
by
Christine McGuigan
Don't want to complain
or speak another bad word
but just take another look around
EVERYWHERE
the cancer
is fighting its way through my skin
desperately trying to seep into my heart
and I want to cleanse my head,
purify my soul
ban their Newspeak
from my existence--
kick BIG BROTHER in the teeth!
The fight may just kill me
and the only prize is my soul
but I'm winning...
so far.
