Dear Big Name Companies who use breast cancer awareness's pink ribbon and the colour pink to promote your products containing ingredients actually linked to cancer.

For years and years they told me,
Be careful of your breasts.
Don't ever squeeze or bruise them.
And give them monthly tests.

So I heeded all their warnings,
And protected them by law.
Guarded them very carefully,
And I always wore my bra.
