Powerful Poetry

It’s all Political
C Everett desired reform,
And Reagan ignored the storm.  
With most money gone,
the surgeon’s hands drawn
The men continued to mourn.

Ryan White
AZT was what White could not get,
his family would plunge into debt.
The public cried foul,
the papers did howl
that the government laws did they set.  

The leper
A leper comes walking my way
I knew from the sores he was gay.
Soon he would leave,
and no one would grieve
Because it should be that way.
