I am a man

and will take what comes

courageously

what can a cell do

that I cannot overcome

I will defeat this scourge

I will win

I will hold up against adversity

I will not let it defeat me

I am a man

you only a tiny cell

my blood thicker

my resolve stronger

my determination

overrides your numbers

you came inside secretively

without invitation

now leave

like you came in

you are my opponent but

I am stronger than you

I will radiate you

kill you where you live

your days

are numbered

mine with any luck

are not.
