The Infection


Walkin' around, and he's infected. He sees the pretty young thing, not knowing he's infected. The pretty one before her, the one he selected Weeped and weeped just days after she tested. The next one, as suspected, Can't resist the charms of the one who Who comes off reckless. Indeed, he must not know he's infected. They laugh, they kiss, they lay in Fumes of passion, naked. But soon months later, He's the one shaken. "God, please! Why have I been forsaken?" "Why is this my fate, this was not to be my making!" ... 19 years old. He is paying for the lives affected. When he walks around now, The world will know that he's infected.
