The ultimate price in life
Losing a limb in the process
In the pink
Now a distant far cry
A thing of the past
As the battle cry is raised
War waged against perfect health
Yet, in the grand scheme of things
Prevention is better than cure
Crack open your heart and brain
Enmesh yourself in the screening and testing
Fortunately basking in mammogram set ups
Exactly they proffer the needed care
A stitch in time saves nine
Be cautious not to find
One’s self on the other side of ill health
Due to iron clad indifference
The battle is not lost
Up until the pink flag is lowered
A long coming wishful thinking
Armed with medical technology
The medics will have the last say
Victory is ascertained
Hold hands to fund raise
Deeping in the coffers for charity causes
The stellar drill being
To give the chronic disease
A hard blow above the unbroken rib cage
Erasing the female warrior fear
Of not enjoying the pair identical site
Of their tunics imprinted
With the twin perfect mounds
