It Is Not Fair.

 The strongest of women.
 The weakest of which
 Are stronger than any man
 While lying on their backs
 Receiving the obeisance of men
 Succumbing to their own mortal lusts.

 She was the strongest of women,
 Now struck down by the power of creation itself.
 The mad hatter of genomic mutation,
 Cancer, consuming her from inside.
 She who could not be broken breaks herself.

 It.
 Is.
 Not.
 Fair.

 But she succumbs anyway.
 Fair is not a word nature understands.
 She who consumes the innocent and the guilty,
 The survivor and the wretched fool alike.
 Nature claims her anyway, fair or not.
 The hands that raised a multitude,
 Struck down by simple time.
