Twenty-five years ago
a monster arrived,
sickening people of every size,
shape, color, race, and sex.
The homosexuals, the bisexuals,
and the straight,
it did not discriminate.
It passed through bodily fluids,
a needle, wound to wound,
not through the tenderness
of a touch, kiss or hug.
To date, there is no soon end
of the plague that AIDS has come to be.
Twenty-five years ago,
it was not said to be
just that of a druggie
or gay man's disease.
We in this world,
have stereotyped it.
Learn the facts before you speak;
and remember those that lost their fight,
like Liberace, Robert Reed,
Rock Hudson and Ryan White.
