October celebrates breast cancer awareness And people are programmed to think That somehow the cure for breast cancer Is tied to the color pink
Too few are privileged to hear Through all the glitz and glam About the AstraZeneca brainchild I now call, “The Breast Cancer Scam”
It began the month of October, 1985 Breast cancer drugs were for the selling And the promise of greater profits Was a temptation all too compelling
“More mammograms and the sale of our drugs Will surely cure more cancers October shall bring awareness to all And reassure we have found the answers”
But mammograms risk radiation cancers Radiation used in treatment too Cancer drugs have serious health risks A fact acknowledged by few
I anxiously ran to my computer To research as much as I could I discovered Zeneca Agrochemicals Suddenly “pink” wasn’t looking so good
At one time part of AstraZeneca And generating billions on the side Zeneca Agrochemicals sold carcinogens With a sense of propriety, promise, and pride
An awareness was beginning to unfold In my brain was a germinating seed Causing a disease and then treating it Was the full circle of profit and greed
Since this knowledge I’m even angrier And many ask me, “Why?” I ask them why they are not When they know we continue to die
I think awareness has been accomplished Knowing the problem has taken its course How about, “Breast Cancer Truth Month” And stop beating this decaying dead horse?
