I fight

I fight cancer with some mouthwash;
Cholesterol with butter,
Brain death with television,
Poverty in the gutter.

I fight depression with street drugs,
Discordance with guitar,
Heatstroke with a hairdryer,
Laziness in the car.

I fight truth with cynicism,
Fear with lies,
Loneliness with evasion,
Pain with cries.
