Weekend Science Sonnet - Cancer

With cancer, most of what you've heard is wrong.
It's not disease. A feature, not a bug.
We mutate to evolve. We change or die.
Replication errors will occur.
All animals get cancer; mammals more.
Dinosaurs got cancer. All those cells.
Antioxidants don't help at all.
Being tall increases cancer risk.
So does menstruation, every time.
Cell phones aren't a risk; it's the birth
of the universe that will get you.
And cancer's smart. It learns, changes, evolves.
Curing cancer makes no sense. There is
no cure for having cells, for being life.

Why most of what you've heard about cancer is wrong
