My friend has fallen

touch me tease me
that's what your body
said they say over 100
men but he didn't
care all he heard was
you was a freak and
that's all he cared about
my people dying by 1,000
by 1,000 left and right
it's crazy what can I do
I know what I love
you too much to let
you fall victim to
the crazy killer
A.I.D.S and
the reason why
is because it's
killing my black
brothers and sisters.
