This article was taken from the newspaper and
shows how the people respond to the pandemic of HIV/AIDS:
"Open your eyes,
eradicate AIDS"
Who must preach, this verse
until we practice it?
The disease is here to stay.
Doctors and scientists are
trying to warn people,
With no apparent success.
Teachers are teaching it but
we are not
Prepared to learn. Who
must die before
We notice that the nation is
on the verge
Of being wiped out?
Who must ask this question
many times before we answer?
The television has shown us
heart breaking
Visuals of people dying of
AIDS.
Related diseases but we choose
to close our eyes.
The magazine report it
continually but
People choose to turn to the
next page.
It's an everyday song on the
radio
But we choose to close our
ears.
When will the people learn to
stop
Leading immoral lives?
