REMOVE THE STIGMA

 
 
 
 What are we doing?

 Standing by while depression  

 is causing a rise in suicides

 While the use of illegal drugs

 Is causing a huge rise in deaths

 And we tend to stigmatize the victim

 Where are our leaders?

 Why are we not talking or

 Bringing the problems into the open?

 In a sense we would be helping them

 We must come together

 Promote leaders who know the answers

 Problems exist which can be corrected

 Solutions take a lot of work

 But we must embrace the afflicted

 Let them know there are other ways

 Do we have the courage to do this?

 Are we letting our chance go away?

 Everyone is worth saving

 We must do all that we can do

 Remove the stigma of addiction

 Show love toward those afflicted

 We plead for those in power

 To speak out with humility

 We all have our disposition

 But reality demands us to address

 By the grace of God

 Let us move forward
