As part of our Active Knowledge Program La Lutta NMC members have been working with schools all across the country. Recently, a La Lutta NMC contributor, the poet Amy Chozick, spoke at Washington Iriving High School. Amy's student guide for the day was a dynamic, creative young man Kareem. This is the first of what we hope are many more submissions from Kareem and the hundreds of students we have worked with this past year. APD, La Lutta NMC.

We need to stop this aids epidemic
Its getting everybody sick and im gettin sik wit it
Its hard to see our people die in front of our eyes its not a surprise
This whole world is full of demise
THis whole world is dyin from all types of S***
We need to put our rubber gloves on and fight the S***
THis is the moral Use a rubber glove while you attempting oral
Dont think about today but think about tommorow
Cuz itz not allota sorrow going out for the people with aids
Just think about the consequences before you get laid
Cuz itz no aid to aid aids so aid yourself
And your not an M&M so your not made to melt
So dedicate yourself and keep yourself protected
Keep it on at all times use the Healthy Method
Dont disrespect it and not be protected
You thought it was a joke but now your infected
