Epidemic
EPIDEMIC
THERE IS A AN EPEDMIC SWEEPING THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD
IT FINDS ITS WAY INTO ALL SORTS OF PEOPLE
MEN, WOMEN, BOYS, AND GIRLS
IT IS A DISEASE THAT TEARS DOWN IMMUNITY
WE DON’T HOW IT GOT HERE, BUT IT PLAGUES ALL HUMANITY
SOME PEOPLE GET IT IN OTHER COUNTRIES, WHERE POVERTY ABIDES
SOME GET FROM INDUSTRIAL NATIONS, AND NOT JUST FROM SKID ROW’S SIDE
SOME GET FROM CARELESSNESS, MAKING LOVE WITHOUT PROTECTION
KNOWING THAT IF THERE’S NOT TRUE LOVE, THE SEX HAS NO MEANINGFUL CONNECTION
SOME GET IT SHARING NEEDLES
IN AN EFFORT TO GET HIGH
ACTING AS IF THE DRUGS WILL MAKE THEIR PROBLEMS FLOAT ON BY
SOME PEOPLE ARE INNOCNENT VICTIMS
SPOUSES, RAPE VICTIMS, AND KIDS
SOME WHO GET IT ARE FORCED PROSTITUTES
AND SOME, FOR THE SAKE OF SURVIVAL DOES THESE GIGS.
SOME GET FROM MEDICAL MISTAKES
LIKE BAD BLOOD TRANFUSIONS
IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE A RARITY NOW
BUT IN THE WORLD OF MEDICINE, THERE IS MUCH CONFUSION.
THIS EPIDEMIC IS GLOBAL
IT KILLS MILLIONS EVERY YEAR
IF SOMEONE EVER FINDS A CURE
THE WHOLE WORLD WOULD STOP AND CHEER.
