How wonderful was "It's A Sin"
The best drama on TV for years
I looked forward to it every week
Knowing I would end up in tears

Set in 1980's London
Reminds us of how life used to be
The time when news was spreading fast
About a new virus, HIV

The story of five eighteen year olds
Sharing their home, the pink palace flat
Living wild, free and playing around
The fear of Aids put a stop to that

Partying soon turned into mourning
For the friends they lost along the way
There was little understanding
Less compassion than there is today

This TV drama raised awareness
Of the ignorance, pain and sorrow
Hard to believe it happened in our lifetime
And not that long ago

How difficult must it have been
To live in the shadow of Aids and HIV
To suffer such intolerance and prejudice
Is inconceivable to me
