Mal-Aria.... Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

Mal-Aria....

Rating: 3.0


For the many many families in Africa, not for the happy few
how happy I was when I heard my dear spouse saying
now pills against Malaria can be bought everywhere
that means that myriad kids in Africa will stay alive

it is a strife to have a kid constant alive after birth
and when a kid survives birth and stay alive
then comes that Mal-aria mosquito and it attacks
adults will get very sick and stay feverish
but the kids, the beautiful healthy kids die!

the child gets fever
and if she/he will not be treated as quickest as possible
she/he will die soon.

Kids will die soon when they are not treated as soonest as possible

Now pills against Malaria can be bought everywhere and this is a nice news given by a doctor and you have beautifully narrated. Malaria should be uprooted from the World and Africa. Kids free from misquote bite and not suffering from malaria are really healthy. An interesting poem is well penned...10
