Parkinson’s is a dreaded disease
It has been known to bring the strongest to their knees
Without compassion it doesn’t dissipate
And it will never intentionally discriminate
For some it steals their ability to walk
And it makes other people unable to talk
The human body is its victim big or small
And it doesn’t matter if they are short or tall
Deviously it increases one man’s libido
And with no mercy it destroys another man’s ego
Many of its targets suffer severe tremors
While others experience nightmare horrors
Coordination and strength are always destroyed
And it causes many a man to be unemployed
It will ruin someone’s appetite
And mitigates another one’s ability to fight
Carpe diem each day one must seize
For life can end quickly like fallen trees
Once it strikes the future may be dim
And it gloats victoriously at its unfortunate victim
But don’t give up, concede, or appease
For one day science will deliver great news
Our finest minds let us dedicate
So someday this scourge we’ll eradicate
