AIDS
yet another manifestation
of the overdeveloped & the underdeveloped
illusion in our world
brings to mind a question
is the value of life greater in the rich countries
in the wild wild west??
yes yes yes
that is the awful truth

when i look into the eyes of a newborn
no matter where from
i see god
i see infinite innocence
i see infinite wisdom
i see no difference
in the eyes of the newborn
if it is born in the underdeveloped or the overdeveloped
it is just beautiful
it is just as meaningful for our human race
no matter if it is rich or poor
it is just as beautiful
has just as much potential for greatness
no matter where it is born
or who the mother, the father is
the land, the clan, the color, the sex

how can we life with ourselves
knowing that it doesn't take much to give the aids struck mothers
aid so their unborn children may have a possibility of a life
beyond the pain and death of this illness
how can we life with the awful truth
that each newborn life is not given the same opportunity???
but we can but we can
we ignore aids
because it is only killing those we do not see
because it is only killing those that will anyway die young
because it is only killing them
not us
them
but them is us
we are one
their pain is in us
their suffering is in us
and our ignorance like a cancer
like a dream we care not remember
like a pool of blood in our subconscious
how much longer does it pay to be silent
to push a way the problems of the world
hoping it we ignore them they do not exists
how much longer before the ignorance manifests in real cancer
in real pain
in real dreams
all it really takes it awareness
that all life is just as valid
in this world
all it really takes is a little caring
a little compassion
