Silent Killer

I have no idea where I started or even when I started All I know is that I am powerful even in my quietness I stir up terror, I stir up fear, I stir up anger I stir up frustration, after all this time, they still haven't found a cure everybody talks about me I even have a special day just for me… Even though they are scared to admit it, I’m an integral part of their every day lives they say I’m a killer… But mankind in their ignorance are spurring me on if only they'd be more careful, if only they'd abstain, if only they'd use condoms I might be stifled I might not be able to take away parents, siblings, family and friends… If only they'd listen to my plea...

The personification of the virus is a great way to tell of its killing powers...Twenty-four years ago I wrote a paper in college about the greatest threat to health in the years to come and that is the topic about which I chose to write...Keep the creative pen flowiing..Sara
