I sit at dialysis connected to a machine
which cleans my blood and removes the poisions from with in me
as year ago this week they started doing tests on me
blood tests ultrasounds ct scans looking deep inside of me
then in march they gave me news
I had cancer in both my kidneys
it came as shock then they removed them in april from inside of me
now i am dialysis patient with out any kidneys
with lots of wonderful nurses and a wonderful machine
which keep s me alive
so I can still write my poetry
and I am still able to sing
I am the pompey poet cancer didnt beat me
I put up a fight and climbed the mountain before me
the poem of a dialysis patient with out any kidneys.
