Staphylococcus won't go away
Still plagues me even today

I had surgery to replace my hip
5 years ago, a nightmarish trip

This bacteria doesn't give in
Self protected by biofilm thin

Mutates to be impervious to
Antibiotics given to me or you

I now have a terrible choice
bacteria mutates with no voice

To have 3 surgeries risky to do
If antibiotics can't get through

Either way my life is at stake
Either choice can be a mistake

Bacterial mutations make us pause
And biofilm real enemy of the cause

It's like any war, a destructive scene
But is microscopic, not easily seen

The war is between nature and man
Science is trying to do what it can

Size doesn't matter, nature may win
A race to survive from the dilemma I'm in
