Hiv You Know Has No Shame

HIV YOU KNOW HAS NO SHAME

Treat sex as a game,
Even when you try,
HIV you know has no shame,
It’s truthfully not shy.

The thrill might seem to fill,
The veins with caressing pleasure,
The virus delights to feel
The cozy invite in your time of leisure.

I sense tissues screaming resistance,
Declaring knowing more than necessary
On this subject we all need assistance
As it still lies in the nursery.

Whales, elephants like humans,
Remember lessons caught in battle fronts,
Where them and theirs bruised on errands
When there are absent aggressive taunts.

Treat sex as a game,
Even when you try,
HIV you know has no shame,
It’s truthfully not shy.
