Slow-growing cancer

Of blood cells red

Bone marrow overload

Through the veins it spreads

Suffered heart attack

Among the complications

Polycythaemia

Cellular domination

Strength in numbers

You can’t deny

Cancer blood cells

Will multiply

Death is looming

A matter of time

Slowly growing

Demise by design

Thickening your blood

Clots will soon appear

The fatal, final stroke

Is surely drawing near

Certain heart attack

Your definite destination

Polycythaemia

Cellular domination

The blood inside your veins

Will cause your own demise

How can you escape

When the killer is inside?
