AIDS is the disease we now face <br /> Since it's affecting the human race <br /> Whether your color is white or black <br /> Don't be misled, AIDS is a fact <br /> Have the test done for HIV <br /> Or rather say...no not me! <br /> It's better to have the HIV Test <br /> So your mind can be at rest <br /> This disease is not for the good or bad <br /> It just kills you and that's so sad <br /> Diagnosed with AIDS is like an outcast <br /> This attitude determines how long you'll last <br /> People are scared to even touch you <br /> And frightened to tie a lace on your shoe <br /> Some would not call you on the phone <br /> But instead leave you all alone <br /> Families and friends do not draw near <br /> This ignorance is because of fear <br /> AIDS patients are dying with broken hearts <br /> Added to the pains of their body parts <br /> They cry...don't remove yourself from me <br /> Because I'm diagnosed with HIV <br /> For really it's a blood borne disease <br /> So please give me a hug and a squeeze <br /> I need to be loved more and more <br /> Come into my room, don't stand at the door <br /> Sit and talk or read me a book <br /> Don't judge me by the way I look <br /> Remember AIDS was not bought at the mall <br /> Even thought it's affecting all <br /> Inspite of AIDS, give them your love <br /> You will be rewarded by God above<br /><br />Cedil C.
