Poem about Disease
AIDS, AIDS, AIDS you tortured
And you tormented us
You have taken the potential
People in the society, where
On earth do we hail from.
Listen to my bitter song of
Lamentation the pain and
Clamor of my youth,
I cry for the vanishing
Of my youth and light
That was my future.
Oh! HIV and AIDS are here
And there in the East
And West, North and South.
AIDS doesn't have
Religion, nation and
Tribe, it has no
Border and color
So AIDS is a deadly
Disease.
