Whether rich or a poor
\nAIDS knocking every door
\nBUT \u2026\u2026..
\nMany people still don\u2019t trust
\nAnd for some comfort or lust
\nWonder in streets up to late night
\nOr waste money on the Internet
\nFor the very syndrome
\nTo carry it sweet home
\nAnd spread it to their families
\nTo their dream roses and lilies
\nAnd make them orphans
\nOr beggars to the parents
\nWho are but these ignorantS?
\nWho are these life-vagrants?
\nWho don\u2019t know this AIDS
\nFrom which a doctor afraids
\nFor which no wealth, no aid
\nOf which death only is maid
\nOnce positive never negative
\nNeither doctor nor preventive
\nNo medicine no cure
\nNo family and no dear
\nSo dreaded so dangerous is the AIDS
\nThen attention, on cares must be paid
\nWhether husband or wife
\nMust be loyal, in the life
\nFollow science or religions
\nDiscard illegal all relations
\nOr follow old healthy culture, the society
\nWhere early marriage was a good remedy
\nWhere people live with dignity and a reason
\nWhere people did not die, without a\u00a0 season
\nYou have to choose an option
\nThis is a sincere suggestion
\nBecause your children need you
\nOf parents, the only deed, you
\nYou are symbol of nation
\nYour are the bright vision
\nYour family and the friends
\nThese messages, they send
\nPlease don\u2019t bring this syndrome
\nTo your lovely, dream home
\nBecause no Aids for AIDS
\nDeath only, then is the maid
