Silent Killer
I have no idea
where I started
or even when I started
All I know is that
I am powerful
even in my quietness
I stir up terror,
I stir up fear,
I stir up anger
I stir up frustration,
after all this time,
they still haven't found a cure
everybody talks about me
I even have a special day
just for me…
Even though they are scared to admit it,
I’m an integral part of their every day lives
they say I’m a killer…
But mankind in their ignorance are spurring me on
if only they'd be more careful,
if only they'd abstain,
if only they'd use condoms
I might be stifled
I might not be able to take away parents, siblings, family and friends…
If only they'd listen to my plea...
