BY LOUJAYA TONI
The face of AIDS bore a resemblance
To my brother
To my sister
To my friend
To my neighbour;
It stole their life
Crippled their support
Drained their efforts
And
Sapped their strength;
They became
Shadows in bright sunlight
Until they faded into
The death of night
Remember their plight
Determine to fight
YOURSELF
The one that is free willed
Careless
Uncontrolled
Stubborn and ignorant
Because the next face AIDS puts on
May well be
YOURS!
