Hiv Aids 2007

Anorexia, weight loss, fever

Frail frame of weakness shiver

With collapse of castle of immunity

Opportunistic infections eager

TO prey on the victim

Whose eyes in deep socket gleam

Kaposis Sarcoma, trauma, coma

Human Immuno Virus' melodrama

Call it the battle in the bloodstream

Plethora of symptoms ranging from

Candidiasis to Herpes simplex

Which render the phenomenon complex

Elisa Western blot and CD4 Count

Diagnosis extorts substantial amount

AIDS Patients deserve top priority in 

medicare for their suffering and agony are rarest rare

Posterity will not forgive us

If in handling AIDS we sound frivolous
