Hiv And Aids

By Preston Mwiinga

HIV and your friend Aids, whilst working together you have terrorized my saul. You have made me an outcast in the society. You have brought segregation to my life.
Those that claimed to love me have deserted me my life has become so dry like the Sahara desert.
My life is flooded with problems like the floods behind the Tsunami causing a lot of harm than good.
You have disfigured my body causing it to have a lot of potholes. My face has shrunk like I am that ablution block that has been emptied by a sewerage tanker.
With the hopes lost, I wait patiently for death like a cow waiting for slaughter.
ARV’s I take, have been conquered by HIV and his fellow criminal Aids, like the way Ghadaffi was conquered.
Your love and care can restore my hope. You accepting me in society can make me human again. My hope is in your hands. I didn’t choose to live with HIV but the Virus chose to live in me.
