Destiny determined at birth
A lose, lose situation
Destiny determined through opportunity
A heart-breaking awakening
Destiny determined by an addiction
An illness, a sickness
Men, women, children all infected
Black, White, Asian all tainted
Each given the same destiny
Each given the same fate
Death
Uncertain of the time
Uncertain of the place
No cure
For this is AIDS

This poem was written as an assignment for my English class. Our school was hosting an Aids exhibit which showcased our writing abilities.
