Stony Aids Poem by Moses Kainwo

A battle to fight
A war to win
with stones
dead stones
living stones
In your hands
And in my hands too

A very hard stone
A healing stone
Of AIDS
In AIDS
With AIDS
Has killed the virus
And the world is healed

I carried the virus
When I carried the stigma
So positive
So activist
So upbeat
Against you brother
And yet it was I who died

When I dropped the stigma
I dropped the virus
So positive
So activist
So upbeat
In support of you sister
And I’m so much alive
