Dicing With Death Poem by Qiniso Mogale

Gambling with their lives
Taking chances with their lives
Putting their lives in grave dangers
Yes, taking unnecessary risks
They throw the dice with their lives
Dicing with Death.

In this day of HIV and Aids they are promiscuous
They have multiple sex partners
They engage in unprotected sexual intercourse
They are endangering their lives
They are endangering the lives of their sex partners
They spread the virus
Many are sleeping on their death beds
Millions are dying
Dicing with Death.

They inject themselves with harmful drugs
Countless harmful drugs on the streets
Harmful drugs sold to elders and youngsters
These drugs are wrecking havoc in many lives
These drugs are destroying many lives
These drugs have crippled promising talents
Many who had bright futures are sleeping in their graves
They gambled with their lives
They diced with Death.
