UNICEF: Vlogit project uses new media to encourage HIV prevention and fight discrimination
The objective of this competition is to raise awareness about AIDS among the youth around the world. I chose
hip-hop and rap.
This rhyme that I wrote is called, to the rain.
As I lay awake at night listening to the sound of the rain, I say to myself how many more times can I hear it again, how
many more times can I walk with a friend, so I pray silently, dear God please ease my pain, they come within sight
and took a look at me, told me I was a product of moral indecency, used to frequent them hookers by the streets you
see, one too many times now I’m infected by the HIV.
My whole body is in so much pain, I can feel the virus running through my veins, I cannot keep these thoughts of
suicide out of my brain, cause now me and the cops is basically the same.
Every night in my bed I sit up and cry, why am I dying to live when I'm just living to die? I put the razor to my wrists
and whisper goodbye, tears dripping down my cheeks I take one last look at the sky, I swear I saw my momma's face
smiling down at me, and she said son, all this doesn’t have to be. Cause no matter what happens, you still got a
family.
Those of you, who want to try it, don’t do it for real, it may be too late for me, but it ain't too late for you.
