WHO AM I?

I am HIV
I’m a virus, I’m positive
And I simply do not give a damn
Nor do I hide pain, guilt or shame
And neither my damaging plan

I have no feelings of love or hate
And compassion I have little need for
My sole purpose is to devastate and destroy
The lives of many people

I have no time for sympathy
And I will never become your friend
Yet the high cost of making my acquaintance
Is more than you could ever comprehend

I break up families wherever I can
And I may take your sister or brother
I bring about sadness and sorrow and grief
But I couldn’t care one way or another

Because I’m an opportunist
I thrive on the chances you take
And if you think I can’t happen to you
That’s your unfortunate ignorant mistake

I may be in your lust for passion
And perhaps the needle that you share
Remember always I’m a restless evil
I am everywhere

Rich or poor, young or old
In the end you’re all the same to me
I have no concern for gender or race
I’m blind to all humanity

Who am I?
I am HIV, I’m a virus
And of this you can be sure
I have positively debilitating effects
Beyond all and any cure

So to win the war against my deadly evil
You will have to unite as one
And spread the message and not the disease
Until the battle is won
