Aids (Good Bye, Good Bye) Poem by Edgar John Jackson

When I didn’t care
I lost my friends
I was so alone
Where are people?
People who were there
Where are people that I’ve known?
Because my life ends
But I don’t care…

When I didn’t care
I began hearing the heaven bell
My world is gonna tear
All my memories that wanna sell
My life to buy my death
But I don’t care…

I began to be weak
I began to sweat
And I couldn’t forget that week.
Everybody begins to forget
That I was dying
That I was dying
They don’t know death fades
Step by steps my memories
And I was infected by AIDS
And I needed them.

I wanted to say good bye
To all the people who weren’t there
I couldn’t get by
To reach so far
I could see the blue sky
But I ain’t gonna see
The shining star
Good bye…. Good bye.
