Because of the lack of education on AIDS, discrimination, fear, panic, and lies surrounded me.

Buried In The Sea Of Sickness
there is no shame in hope
and seeing the best in another
in a life where education is learned
by masses from slander
to give in would be the deadliest
and i attest
that knowledge is not knowing
and knowing can often derive
from naivety and hatred
of the one in whom you listen
be careful in the stock you hold
be careful in faith and where it lies
it lies
more than not
he can see an interest
not for interests sake
but for his own
death comes to every flower you pick
no matter how hard you sustain its life
it will wither from your good intention
to keep beauty and colour
take with you nothing
but the ground you believe
you stand upon
and plant your feet so you can soar
above the fight
above discrimination
above power
and wealth
above insecurity
and thought of security
above the sea of sickness
our appetites have craved
from lack of drive in flavor
close your eyes
and see the cockroach
you're invested with
shake free of this night
and lies tries and faith
with no beginning
there is no end
and i am ready
to step forth

People Panic
Tripped out,
Over their finances.
Doubts begin to cloud their minds...
With a suggestion to breathe deeply.
To prevent a panic to exist.
And if they don't breathe deeply,
That's exactly what they'll find!
That's exactly what they'll get...
Panic!
But do people listen?
No!
Is common sense from them missing?
Well...
I don't want to pass,
That as harrassment.
But if I'm allowed,
I would choose to brag.
I don't want to pass,
That as harrassment.
But people seem to get,
Just what they ask!
And everywhere you go,
You'll see them in their stubbornness to give!
In 'fits' like spoiled little kids.

People quick to throw a fit and...
Panic.
One's finances will do it!
Cause a panic.
A lack of money will do it....
Cause a panic.
There is no benefit in it,
But people panic.
People quick to throw a fit and...
Panic.
One's finances will do it!
Cause a panic.
A lack of money will do it....
Cause a panic.
There is no benefit in it,

People sick of taking risks,
And so they panic!

Danger's Wedge
I never used to let my actions bother me,
everyday my life was lived on the edge.
The adrenaline rush I got from taking risks
was pushed ever wider by danger's wedge.
I now wonder what's happening to me,
I've developed a fear of death.
I panic and tremble when there's no risk,
and an inhaler aids my breath.
Fear and conscience now reside in me,
along with demons I never knew.
What I confront now is far, far, worse
than what I was accustomed to.
I question myself about my past
and how I entered hell's front door.
I think that danger was the drug
of which I had to score.

Education Celebration
(An 'Education Week' Rap)
Education, education;
There's nothing quite like education!
It gives you hope and lets you cope
And offers great remuneration.
Education, education;
The path to many a great vacation;
A fancy car and caviar;
A life of fun and relaxation.
Education, education;
Provides a firm and strong foundation
For better lives improved by drive,
By effort and by motivation.
Education, education;
Sing aloud in exultation!
And when you pass that final class
We'll shake your hand in admiration.
Education, education;
Requires a lot of perspiration.
You can bet - a lot of sweat,
And just a pinch of inspiration.
Education, education;
Let's all sing in jubilation!
For, those who strive and have the drive
May someday own a 'corporation'!
Rumors of sneezing, kissing, tears, sweat, and saliva spreading AIDS caused people to panic.

Discrimination Here's You Come and Go
Discrimination’s like a snake
Its teeth in poisoned prejudice,
Causing ache
Discrimination abolished all warmth and spirit
And returned with a new hate
Relishing its pain brought
Never thought of halt
Hey
Discrimination’s the new law
Stony and steel and
Square without feelings
Like window frames
Of the Hall
In court
I wonder where the White’s Purity all gone.
Tears and Fears
Now the norm
In the name
Of discrimination
now
Gladly Discrimination has gone
Kicked out hard,
square and fair
Yet-
It left a hole
In everyone’s hearts.
Losing Life to Fear
In fear of being heard,
In fear of being understood,
In fear of not being heard,
In fear of not being understood,
In fear of being misheard,
In fear of being misunderstood,
In fear of hearing too much,
In fear of understanding too much,
In fear of saying too much,
In fear of saying too little,
In fear of being too enlightened,
In fear of not being factually correct,
In fear of being too bright,
In fear of being too ignorant,
In fear of being praised,
In fear of being bullied,
In fear of not being like others,
In fear of loosing my individuality,
In fear of being ostracized,
In fear of being camouflaged,
In fear of being the attraction,
In fear of being ignored,
In fear of being too different,
In fear of being too common,
In fear of following others,
In fear of disobeying others,
In fear of being too gullible,
In fear of being too stubborn,
In fear of being used,
In fear of being misused,
In fear of rewards,
In fear of punishments,
In fear of responsibility,
In fear of expectations,
In fear of being trusted,
In fear of being mistrusted,
In fear of your lack of response,
In fear of your over-reaction,
In fear of eternal silence,
In fear of noisy communication,
In fear of your acceptance,
In fear of your rejection,
In fear of exciting you,
In fear of upsetting you,
In fear of loving you,
In fear of hating you,
In fear of your love,
In fear of your hatred,
In fear of being loved,
In fear of being hated,
In fear of thinking,
In fear of existing,
In fear of living,
In fear of dying,
In fear of being myself,
In fear of being another,
In fear of knowing myself,
In fear of neglecting myself,
I lost my voice;
I lost my identity;
I lost my self.
I lost this life;
I lost my life;
I lost life's life.

Perhaps more than any other disease before or since, syphilis in early modern Europe provoked the kind of widespread moral panic that AIDS revived when it struck America in the 1980s.

The Immigrant Muslims and the Indian Mongoloids
When the Muslims crowd around and blockmail,

the mongoloids head home
where our AIDS-hit army roam
to receive alms and in their duty fail.

Education is important because, first of all, people need to know that discrimination still exists. It is still real in the workplace, and we should not take that for granted.

Tell me did you do a panic.

lack of time money confidence dreams
lack of people love intelligence please
should you meet one don't let them in
they're vampires sucking the best of your blood
helplessly devouring panic anathemic

Must we lie?
I tell lies when I fear
Of what others will think.
I tell lies when I fear
Of what will be found out.
Every time we tell lies
We strengthen the things
About which we fear.

Blame It On My ‘Worst Education' Or Lack of Experience?
Blame It On My ‘Worst Education' Or Lack of Experience?
So you callously stated "you have the worst education ever! "
Why can't you guard your mouth? You think so much less of me?
An educated man with your figure would not take off your clothes
You won't go to Dim Sum, oh I forgot, you have no idea what that is!
Gwai2 Lou5 鬼佬 speaks: "hey, what gives? "
我是一個中國人 ￮
Wǒ shì yī gè zhōng guó rén.

You have no idea what I just said, so how does that make you feel?
This means I am a Chinese person, did you know that?
With all your Ivy League education, Guǐ Lǎo, you can't speak to me
You've never traveled to Hong Kong or China, do you what the difference are?
You say I'm naïve, Lo Fan, but I know more than you
您是鬼佬! !
Nín shì Guǐ Lǎo! !
Nei5 hai6 Gwai2 Lou5! !
The words I called you
Gwai2 Lou5 鬼佬
Lo Fan 佬番
Guǐ Lǎo
All mean the same, they mean White Devil
My education tells me that, that is you
Who has the ‘worst education' now? !
Up! Education
Education is important
Right from when an infant
Education is not about college
It entails a wider range of knowledge
Supplying a market of skills shortage
Education is great
It creates and decides upon ones fate
Never leave it too late
Education makes it a priority
To provide you with opportunities
So I say
OK! Up! Education
Feed the Nations
Up! Education
Education is in abundance
A constituent of importance
As we humans advance
It offers us life’s insurance
Education is the key to set you free
From joblessness condemnation
Education is the key to flee
From endless financial frustration
Education provides you with ammunition
To tackle any country, state or nation
Education gives you immunisation
Against surviving global frustration
Education relieves you
From absurd ignorance
Education exempts you and me
From parental allowance
For most adults
It is usually a concerning disturbance
So I say
OK! Up! Education
Feed the Nations
Up! Education
I take my time to stress once more
It is the path to successes door
Education is a treasure
One cannot significantly measure
By only your life’s attended lectures
Education is power
Your immediate answer
To questions that remain unanswered
Education is for all
Embrace it or fall
Education provides options
And sets the motion
In life for you to function
So I say
OK! Up! Education
Feed the Nations
Up! Education
Education is the name of the game
