Living to Fight Death

If I died tomorrow,
I would not care.
Today I fought HIV.
A white baby died three seconds
after her first scream.
One gay Asian child never saw 15.
Black kids play hopscotch over
infected needles.
This is HIV.
Killing not just me,
But our babies.
If you died yesterday,
Who would fight tomorrow?
Fight HIV today.
