Bite me Dr. Eng

 
The organ of my discontent
my pancreas lies Idle
Beta Cells dormant
WAKE UP!
 no avail

A Virgin
withering away on the vine
An Ex-football player's
unused muscles gone to fat

So too my pancreas
shrinks slowly over
time's slow march
My Beta cell mass

20%, then 40%,
Now 80% gone

Blood sugar rises
1, 2,4, now 8 grams of
sugar per liter of blood

I am pickled
my joints ache,
I am swollen
It is hard to move

I have little energy
awash in sugar,
Yet my muscle
 cells have little inside
irrational anger from a pickled brain
lashes out at loved ones

Slow death sentence
of the diabetic Life



The Gila monster bites me
wakes up my pancreas
Bite me baby Gila Bite me

It's venom is
the prince's kiss for sleeping beauty

My Pancreas is awakened
It is back in the drivers seat
the sugars are under control
With new purpose,
The Beta cells re-grow


Why just the other day,
a collegue said,
"you have grown a year younger!"

(One component of the Gila Monster LIzard
has been discovered to awaken the diabetics
sleeping pancreas, and is now available as a drug,
which  can actually restore a person from Diabetes II
Google "Lizard Spit Diabetes")
