ELIZABETH'S REQUEST

YOU ARE BROTHER'S KEEPER,
ETCHED FERVENTLY IN RELIGIOUS METER.
AIDS, THE PLAGUE THAT WE KNOW,
NOTHING BUT LIFE IS STILL SWEETER.
SPREADING LIKE PRAIRIE FIRE, HERE AND THERE,
AIDS IS AN ECONOMIC JUGGERNAUT.
TAXPAYERS BECOMING WELFARE CASES,
DIMINISHING RESOURCES, THE TALE OF OUR LOT.
MASK THE SUFFERING AND DEATH OF AIDS,
WITH YOUR CLOSET-LIKE DOUBLE TALK.
A UNIVERSE BEGS THE POWERS THAT BE,
OR WITHOUT GOD, ALONE, YOU DO THE WALK.
AIDS WILL CURSE MANY MILLIONS MORE,
WHO CARES IT'S FOREIGN TO MY STROKE.
CARE NOT FOR YOUR FELLOW MAN,
THOSE SAMARITANS, FOR GIVING, WENT BROKE.
