What can be said that hasn’t been said? What has been done? What could be done?
What could you do?
Do you wake up in the morning
looking death in the face
Have you seen the spark of life
diminished
like leaves dying in autumn
People talk of war as if only guns can cause
Death
Sadness
and sorrow greater than even the human mind can imagine.
The human mind is infiniteOur abilities are too
So why is itThat we cannot solve one problem
That causes the grief of millions
A problem we the American People have the
Power
Resources
and Influence
To rid this world of this malevolent beast
with no mercy nor compassion
Are we so immune to the pain of others
That we feel no concern or even interest
To aid in something more treacherous
That has people begging for death
People who have
Power
Resources
and Influence
Should use it for the BETTERMENT of the human race
To show that compassion for afflicted individuals
and their loved ones is not gone
But is burning
like flames of Determination
that will shower the world
with precious gifts of hope and peace
A problem with a solution has been presented to you
and you have the power to stop it.
Senator Isakson, will you fight AIDS?
Please support the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria.
