truth of the matter

living a life
in the dawn of madness.
living with dignity
surrounded by fear
silence equated with Death.

Robin had Cancer
it was all over the news
the treatment, the struggle
thoughts of the inevitable
support in boatloads.

Young Blood, just got a call
he's got a new roommate
HIV has taken up space

can't tell Mama, "she gonna cry."
can't tell Papa, "he'd rather die."
so he keeps silent..
in hopes it will go away.....

he's gonna wake up soon
right?
he's gonna wake up soon........
