Compassion for the AIDS Victims

A man was told he was HIV.
He was as distraught as a man could be.
Needles he’d never shared, or used,
And his body he had never abused.
He had heeded the warnings and taken great care,
But his life was left in total despair.
It was no fault of his, this virus within.
He didn’t get it by committing a sin.
It could have been blood; he’d received long ago,
Or a razor he’d shared, he’ll never know.
Diagnosed too late he’d passed it to his wife,
And it cost his daughter her young life.
Some like him, their families disown,
Left to linger and die with people unknown.
But this man, he had his sisters and brother,
Also his loving father and mother,
They care and suffer as their loved one fades,
Praying that the pills will cure his AIDS.
So don’t stigmatize or humiliate,
Show some compassion before its too late.
Just let these people know they are not alone,
That your heart has not yet turned to stone.
There but for the grace of God go we,
But do we know what our future will be.
So let us all fight this aberration,
Before it wipes out a total nation.
We’re all children of God, whatever creed or race,
So let us all, the whole world embrace.
The cost may be high to help man recover,
But what price to mankind if no cure we discover.
