Why cant we speak
Why cant we talk
Why only wisper behind their backs
Why we hesitate
Why we curse
Why we dislike to see their face
Why we isolate
Why we let go
Why we treat them like dirt
Who are we to judge
Who are we to comment
Then why do we act like this
Disease is a disease
Not an evil
Then why do we treat them bad
What did these children do
Whats their fault
Then why such cold feet
Why we dislike to hear the name
Why we see with a different eye
Tommorow it could be you who suffer
Its an evil you would say
But less devil than you and I
Who treat them as a different breed
Why its such a taboo
Why we cant speek
Why we hesitate to talk about AIDS
Why are we so narrow minded
Why can’t we create awareness
Why we hasitate to talk about AIDS

hey, nice one jibin...& last two para's are so very true... it will surely make one think!
Jibin, We talk a lot about AIDS; but do precious little. 'Who are we to judge Who are we to comment Then why do we act like this' This has got a strong undertone of Zen. Well written poem.
You are really creating an awareness. Let us just hope and pray that we get out of this narrow thinking and treat it as a disease and not as an evil. Grt. work... Love, Ammu

dear Jibin: You are a very warm and empahic person. You have access to the Zen perspective. Everyone need to read this. Sincerely, Fred
