We are all the same!

We’re All The Same

If You See Me Caught In One Way Street

Weighing Less Than A Shadow On A Screen

And I Can Hardly Breathe & Smell A Breeze

With A Fire Underneath My Skin

That’s When You Know That I Catched HIV

Though No One Is To Blame

Because I’m Just Like You, We Are The Same

As The Folks You See Walking Down The Lane

Then, Don’t Run Away, Don’t Try To Hide

From Us Who Are Aching This Sickness Inside

When Solitary Exclamations Will Not Subside

 So Try To Be Caring & Me Do Not Criticise

The Stigma Can Hurt In Society’s Eyes

I Keep Wondering Why It Is Still A Huge Taboo?

It Is Just Another Malady & You Know It’s True!

If One Day You Find Out That You Have Aids

Would You Want People To Look At You With Disdain

Could You Cope With Such An Enduring Pain

Such A Bloody Fire Spreading In Your Veins

That Consumes You In The Pouring Rain

And All You Want Is To Break The Chain

But You Are The Same Man You Were Yesterday

So Would You Accept To Be Treated Another Way?

Would You Like Your Loved Ones To Fade Away?

Shouldn’t You Have Something To Say?

Thus, For The Sake Of A Name, Don’t Go Away

After All, We Will All Just Be Swept Away

Just Give What You Can, And Look For The Best

I Call You With The Voice Within My Chest

Be Loving And Enduring, Do Your Greatest

Help Someone, Bring Them To Happiness

Make A Difference, Be A Pal, & Comprehend

We Are Living All Together In This Land

Come What May Happen, A Man’s Always A Man

We'll Be Keeping Pressing Every Day

Until We Find Our Own Guiding Ray

Let Our Love Lead The Way

I May Feel Weak But I Am Strong

Since You Are Here, I Won't Give Up Hope

If You Believe In Me, I’ll Never Be Wrong

There’s A Hero Inside Of My Soul

That Reaches Out To Your Core

To Bring My Life To Anew, Where The Sky Is So Blue

So, Next Time Don’t Turn Away,  When You Hear My Name

Just Let Us Lead The Way,  coz We’re All The Same
