The human body's most complex part,
To say a "Crown Jewel" is only a start.
This 3-pound organ in a bony shell
Protected by fluid, containing billions of cells.
It interprets senses, initiates movement,
Controls behavior; an intelligence unit.
It's who one is, what's said, what's done
It defines humanity-all in one.
In a matter of seconds, minutes or hours
A clot can rush in and take all its powers.
A vessel may clog, take vision or speech,
Cause confusion, take senses, and even one's reach.
Two million brain cells lost every minute
You won't get them back so you've got to prevent it.
Be aware and competent; don't miss the signs.
We can prevent disability and save more minds.
Save the Brain-Be FAST-Now!
A change can be missed; you need to know how.
Vital signs, Chemstick, Last known well
Call for help and Check "Neuro" to tell.
Are they moving all 4's, awake and alert?
Vision, speech, a-fib to convert?
Be ready for any, for all, to save brain
Help scatter this message of the Brain Campaign.
