Singh SP. I wish I had AIDS. Hep B Annual 2008;5:163-4 |
 Lamentations of a Chronic Hepatitis B patient | |  |
"I wish I had AIDS
The Lord of all diseases
Everything would have been free
Free tests, medicines; no fee
But Hepatitis B is what I've got
For which I'm always distraught
Can't even afford the tests
On which the treatment rests
Forget 'bout the treatment cost
My case is all but lost
Untreated I will die
With no one left to cry
I wish I had AIDS
The Lord of all diseases
Everything would have been free
Free tests, medicines; no fee
My father died of cancer
For which doc had no answer
He got it 'cause of Hep B
He gave it to me mebbe
My brother too is dead
So I too live in dread
My life too is condemned
I fear - I too will die like them
My brother too had the bugs,
For which we tried some drugs
We had to sell all we had
And now things are just too bad
I wish we all had AIDS
The Lord of all diseases
Everything would have been free
Free tests, medicines; no fee''
