I Am Hiv - Aids

I AM HIV/AIDS Saint Luke predicted me long time ago, While the Book of Revelation warned you about me. I am raging like a wild fire, I am growling like a lion, I have spotted you and I will pounce on you! I am HIV/AIDS! I attack people in all socio-economic and educational classes, I cut across cultural and religious sects, Graves and hospitals bear this testimony. Despite significant medical accomplishments, I remain incurable, I am HIV/AIDS From Africa to America, Australia to Asia and Artantica to Europe. From Cape Provinces to Limpopo and Mpumalanga to Kwa-Zulu / Natal. From Bekkersdal to Grobblersdal and Makapanstad to Marabastad. From Sun Valley to Sun City and Mamelodi to Mametlhake. From Witlagte to Langlagte and Suiwerskuil to Kromkuil. I am reigning, I am HIV/AIDS. Woe for the earth and for the sea, Because I have descended in great anger to devour you! I refer to you, who do not abstain, I mean you there, who are not faithful, And you here who do not condomise, For I am HIV/AIDS. Media has warned you, Priests have preached at the top of their voices, Politicians have cried loud, Organizations and institutions have given you warnings, But all these have come to naught, Now I will kill you like flies, for I am HIV/AIDS This is not news to you, You will certainly catch me through unprotected sex, Shared infected needles and syringes, contaminated blood, And from an infected mother to her unborn child. I then multiply in your blood, mercilessly attacking Your defence system and leave you for the dead, For I am HIV/AIDS. You know this fully well; You cannot catch me through Sneezing, sharing toilet seats, coughing, Or shaking hands with an infected person. Behold, even if you are not infected, You are affected by me, for I am HIV/AIDS. Even though I am dreadful and mighty, I will finally die and my heart is sore, That will be when sense is finally knocked in your head, That will be when you abstain from sex, You remain faithful to your partner or condomise, Remember, prevention is better than cure, for I am HIV/AIDS!
