Maybe they had been a little rash
and stopped a little too late.
Do we throw away people with driving accidents?
A bad choice of date,
a rape,
an indulgence in drugs with shared needles
at an age when life seems too short
to go slow and think twice,
a blood transfusion,
a used needle,
isn’t it all an accident too?
AIDS patients are victims,
not criminals.
Before you judge,
remember, you could be one too…

Very appropriate for World Aids Day, Shaily. Punchy and powerful.
Best wishes, Pete.
