AIDS is Not the Enemy
Scattered along the trail of time is hidden a track
Graveled and covered so as to obscure
Lives lost needlessly in battles not declared, and wherein
Immunization might have spared those souls. Whose camp
Issued the war cry, what enemy fights our cause
So noble, to preserve the race of
An honorable species capable of writing this line?
It is not from without we must seek our foe, but with
Lives constantly in anguish we must look within,
Address our antagonist on the very grounds
We know best - yet least - the cells of ourselves.
