Humphrey Haji Luvumbi Poet Rhyme

The Big a Word

As kids this was just but the big "A" word
The known that was unspoken
Because it was a powerful a word
A word that when said would awaken, stir emotions 

It was the dark age where little was known of it
And the less we talked of it the harder it was to understand
That's why it crippled us just the thought of it
And the many pervations and reserves we had to stand 

But then came strong hero's out in the open
Talking about their status not being afraid
It took much for them to be open
But through them the conversation started, much was said 

Some were receptive about it but some put up walls 
But that was the start of a new front
Of people who were willing to over walls
And face to face with fear, rejection and segregation they fought 

So to our hero's who have the big "A" word
As we mark this day as we always have every year
We do so to put round the word
That there's much to life to look forward to, so don't shed a tear
