People Are Dying Poem by Tsholofelo Phakathi

PEOPLE ARE DYING
***********************

OH.....
People keep on lying
and denying....
Because of this disease that keeps on applying,
Children are crying
they have became orphans....
It kills and breaks
people's heart
and live them wandering
that when will I ever
stop living this life of ARV's.

Stop crying
but yet don't stop living and loving
though I would advice you to not forget the covering......
life sometimes seems hard
but don't think bad
but think right....
Don't be selfish
Because of your stupid mind
don't let that baby from your womb
to catch that disease......
Oh.....Mother I beg you.....
do not.

HIV doesn't like
but it strike
in the blood and leave you helpless
or shameless.....
Dear daughter
Dear Son
don't let your week knowledge
make you useless.
