“My” Melanoma Awareness Month strikes me as a good time to remind myself that every guest of The Hotel Carcinoma is, or at least ought to be, in this fight together. With thanks and best wishes to the author of Melanoma and The City, I wrote some new lyrics to Bob Marley’s “One Love”. Melanoma took Marley’s life, but I think he’d agree with these sentiments…
One Fight, All Cures
Let's get together and be all right
No more people dying (One Fight)
We will be surviving (All Cures)
Sayin' give thanks and praise to the Lord and we will be all right
Sayin' let's get together and win this fight
Let us forget all those inane remarks (One Fight)
There is one question I'd really like to ask (All Cures)
Is there a place for the selfish people
Who ignore all the rest just to save their own?
Believe me
One Fight, All Cures
Let's get together and be all right
As it was in the beginning (One Fight)
So shall it be in the end (All Cures)
Give thanks and praise to the Lord and we will be all right
One more thing
Let's get together to fight all kinds of Carcinoma (One Fight)
So when the Man comes there will be no more doom (All Cures)
Have pity on those whose cancers won’t wither
There ain't no hiding place from the specter of recurrence
Sayin' One Fight, All Cures
Let's get together and be all right
I'm pleading to mankind (One Fight)
Oh Lord (All Cures)
Give thanks and praise to the Lord and we will be all right
Let's get together and win this fight

I now have "One Love" stuck in my head. I may have been humming it through the grocery store today......Maybe that's why I received funny looks? :-) Another great post, Rich!
