Stop the Pointing

When it took John or Bob or Steve or Rich; there was never any problem not so much as a hitch, but as it started taking the Marys and Cindys and the like of which; some eyes started opening some even ed, but the word really spread throughout the world, as it started taking little boys and girls such as; the baby Jane’s and the baby Joe’s the baby Mary’s and the baby Bo’s, and let’s not forget the baby May’s nor the baby Ray’s; AIDS affects everyone not just the Gays, so as we sit in our ivory tower so pure, Instead of pointing a finger we should search for a cure Copyright ©. 1988 RICHARD RODRIGUEZ.
