Nairalanders should check this out.
This is my first time tho, so your criticism is highly welcome.

Who can tell,
Of the sufferings of those battling with breast cancer
Or those who have lose their loved ones to this draconian devil.
Like a thief in the night,
Came the monster in form of lumps and bumps.

Who can tell,
Of the various chemotherapy and its hitches and problems,
Carried out by those battling with it.

Who can tell,
The cuts,incisions and stitches,
Lacerations of various forms,
All in the fight against the ugly monster.

Who can tell,
Of the loved ones we've lost,
The eminent personalities we've lost to this monster.
Olufunmi Olayinka,Sisi Caro and others.

Who can tell,
Of the courage and resilience of the survivors who have win the battle against this devil,
Prevention is better than cure,
Examine your breasts for lumps,
Early detection prevent the spreading of this monster,
And if suspected, consult a qualified doctor.
One day mankind will be able to defeat this ugly monster,
For verily, there's light at the end of the tunnel.
