To be la LaChama is to live every moment with a reminder that a i am not able to meet the expectations for my station and b i am vulnerable to accusations of fraud
Now that i have been called upon to participate in a public event, the CANCER BEATDOWN, to bring words that can provide understanding knowledge catharsis enlightenment empathy and of course healing is another one of those tall moments from whose shadow i can barely poke out my toe
But if i am empty my people are empty and my people cannot be empty even while i am a match that cannot even burn itself
Strike me O Pegyuh so that i may burn and burn in my people
Pegyuh-uh! Pegyuh-uh!
Please say: Burn, burn for cancer LaChama
Burn, burn for cancer LaChama
My money is worth nothing if the Filter of Loathing is consumed
Burn, burn for cancer LaChama
I may as well burn my money too
Burn LaChama
We may as well burn our money to beat down cancer
beat it down! beat it down!
We know that more than 80% of cancer deaths were caused by bad choices
Well let's start making some better choices here today and show me the
Show me the shiny gold coins
Show them hold them up to the suns!
Melt it down Burn the cancer
You see that you are standing on a grate
and the ground beneath it has opened up
and the darkness is the mouth of LaMthyuh
see the rainbow of light among your coins
imagine all that light raining down
people drop your golden light into the darkness
let it fall and listen to the sound
we can hear it now an unstoppable clankety CANCER BEATDOWN
As the applause dies i'll back away bowing from the podium and some raunchy MC will take over. It's your basic legal betting for charity event from then on as two giant screens track the real-time progression or regression of a MOD 7 cancer in two Jan subjects for an entire year. MPS gets 20% and i get about 4% of that. Subject's account gets a MOD payout upon verified termination but that bumps them to a palliative-course-not-approved [PCNA] track. The ensuing tragicomedy fuels more donative speculation for MPS and a high temple attendance rate from worshippers. There's a catch net below the grate of course. It borrows its sinister nature from the humble wishing well.
