AIDS
I am the one and only
The murderous Mr. Unholy
Am the world's most destructive seed
Yes! I contaminated the holy deed
I've crippled big men and their families
I've destroyed countries' and their economies
Because I believe am smart
And nobody knows my heart
Am the lake where the unlucky drown
Their dive means they are forever gone
I swallow their happiness like a piece of cake
And ensure they never swim out of this lake
I drown them in pain and mockery
Making their relatives and friends cry
Tears that hardly challenge me
For my services are rendered free
Ignorance guarantees nobody consideration
That I can spare an infant is an illusion
Man, woman, boy or even a girl
I never subject even the old to denial
For my actions are based on justice
And arms are always ready to embrace
To make them aware of the darkness
Then let them crumble in the wilderness
Between life and the eternal fridge
I play the role of a strong bridge
Some people claim that I am not the end!
Beware! My kingdom has no outlet
But there is room for exercising freedom
Victims can try runnin away from the storm
Bearing in mind that I am an indelible stain
The mightiest one with a Killer's brain
Yet I am not in anyway great!
I am only a big threat!

O sweet child of A.I.D.S.
O how I feel for you
Your innocence denied
Fun but a memory replaced by pain
You sweet, sweet child
How
Within her chest
Lies a heart in pain.
No ability to scream
No one to blame
The shame is hers
To bear alone
The disease has
