every time you passed by a helpless person
and ignored them
without even the tiniest bit of remorse
- not even a small pinch just below the heart,
what if
that was enough to spark
such a tremendous rebellion inside your own body
as the one we tend to call
“cancer”.
would it change anything?
would it make you care?
would it make me?
