Best Aids Poems
the blood of love leaks out
through this punctured
saddened wound
bleeding hurt unspoken
cries for help unheard,
no surgeon could ever help
the shocking pain of but a word
how one so casually inflicts
such wounds upon those
they have once told
of their undying eternal love
held tight those two bodies
as she wanted so to hold
yeah, love can be quite nasty,
so disrespectful of your heart
and torture you forever
until from life, you should depart
There was a sense a feeling a consciousness
Ill and loosing friends long ago in San Francisco
Visiting when I was sharing vanilla shakes
All that he could eat and enough for me
We both tired so quickly, sitting together
Watching a tv show, washing his dishes
There was so much fear and ignorance
People did not want to learn or read
I miss him even now after so many years
Remembering those young days gone by
Blue skies, gray fog, white clouds
Tall Eucalyptus trees aromatic leaves waving
High up in the hill, a white cross waiting for Easter
Moments soft and quiet, caring contemplation
The worries, the pain, the uncertainty, still there
That sense of awareness, even a presence
A kindness, a Force seemed near
As we struggled to be alive as much
As we were allowed as the fog rolled in
And the nights grew dark and cold
The city lights, and the soft winds,
Gave us a kind of ease and even acceptance ensued
A sense of a Force that was close by
Ready to receive us and bring peace
Something — a presence without judgement
Was there -- that ended the burden of life when it was too much to bear
A Force universal, a Force that was waiting a Force that was aware
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!
AIDS POV:
Right now it’s only cough and cold
But you won’t survive until you’re old
Your friends and family will stay away
No matter how much you plead or pray
You’ll lose your weight and faint at times
You’ll prefer dying than being alive
No one to take care of you at night
You’ll be untouchable, yeah that’s right
It doesn’t matter how I infected you
All they’ll think all you do is screw
Your life will be like a living hell
You’ll be alone and lonely, can’t you tell?
You’ll regret that day I entered you
The days you have are very few
Within no time you’ll beg to die
But I’ll kill you slowly while you cry
PATIENT’S POV:
Right now it’s only cough and cold
But I am gonna get you trolled
My friends and family will stay with me
They love me so much, can’t you see?
Skinnier I’ll be, unhealthy I’ll be
It’s not ‘you’ and ‘I’, with us it’s a ‘we’
They’ll stand by me, take care of me
They’ll take me home, I’ll be free
But today they asked me the reason
Was it some blood transfusion?
Yes it was, I wanted to say
But I realized my life had started to sway
They’re going away, the ones I loved
Was it really necessary for me to be shoved?
I trusted them to stay with me
But now I’m begging you to let me die…
HIV/AIDS
It works everywhere
Looking for dining room
everyone is its dining
Its always knock at your door
if you opens
Its like chameleon
Slowly slowly into body fuel
streaming into it
screaming starts
Head, shoulder down to legs
Rife slowly vanished
like cheshire cat.

At one point, there's no cure for HIV/AIDS. The virus has affected not just the
African-American community, but the entire human race, as well. The whole world is
affected by that disease, even in the United States of America. Everybody knows that HIV
is passed on by having unprotected sex, using or sharing dirty needles/syringes, red
blood, breast milk containing the HIV virus in it, and blood transfusion. HIV/AIDS has not
only affected the adults, but the children and teenagers, as well. People who are living
with HIV/AIDS are always dying from that disease and it's a heart-breaker. The virus is
considered a life-or-death situation. I'm told that the doctors have been prescribing HIV
meds for the ones who were tested positive for that life-threatening disease, but they're
not sure whether all of the pills are to keep half of the human race alive. But there are
fund-raisers that will help the researchers and the doctors find the cure for HIV and
AIDS. But despite all o the hard work everybody has done to end HIV/AIDS, it's still
there. And if the HIV virus keeps affecting the other human race in the future, there's no
telling what bad thing might happen next. This HIV nightmare must end now. When will the
HIV virus be eliminated permanently? When will this end?
I was said to have mingled with the masses,
moving mysteriously through the multitudes unexpectedly,
familiarizing myself with countless souls, still they
don't know who I am.
Being destructive- that's me, ravaging- that's me,
causing havoc where ever I go is what I'm accused of,
still they don't know who I am.
I swept society away like a fierce wind devouring
everything in my path - women, men, children without
discrimination. I simply love how you point fingers
blaming each other, still you don't know who I am.
I've severely affected the growth of populations,
devastatingly infected people from every race,
creed, background on this planet, still they don't know
who I am.
Parties, experimental drugs & promiscuity are
a few of the things I indulge in, one night of careless
whispers & you won't forget me, still you don't know
who I am.
Lurking like a rapist in the dark of the night,
violating, attacking with unrelentless vigor, leaving
behind a path of fear & confusion, still you don't know
who I am.
And now without further adieu, coming to the stage -
I introduce. . . . . . Death is the final curtain call,
welcome to the playhouse of AIDS.
Once there was a man called Spray Aids.
Believed mighty powers will come for aid.
Equity aids the vigilant soul.
Band aid for wounded soul.
Bloody, ha ha ha, helping hands, AIDS!
All is not well
In this kibbutz
Distant thunder
Suffers, pardons
Armour crumbles
In this temple
Does the keeper's
Soul surrender?
Aren't the roots here
In this dark soil
Drinking like some
Suckers should?
And we will stay
In this dim light
Dragging echoes
Somewhere else
Aiming blame
In others' corners
Dowsing these flames
So we can breathe
And the wonder
In our slumber
Dregs our blood
So sick, so sick
Protect our children from AIDS..........
My heart is paining me
when I see AIDS patient
My eyes are hurting me
when I see them suffering
Is AIDS God's punishment for
the people who went against nature love?
God has created a man and a woman
and he said a man for a woman
God has shown us the beauty of love
and he has taught us the meaning of the love
He wants us to be faithful to our love
Today, the world turned in to dark
The value of the love has been lost
The value of the faith has been lost
This misuse of nature love
angrily spreading AIDS everywhere
Our innocent children are living
in the world of AIDS
Let us fight against this deadly virus AIDS
and save our children and our nation

How many it has sent to Hades
Despite the many aids
Lavished over the ages
Your gender does not exonerate you
Neither does the gene in you
Nor age emancipate you
Who really is to blame?
For AIDS unscrupulous fame
Rendering all efforts lame
We now live in a State of Emergency
Wholly engaged is every agency
Watch what a state of delinquency!
Oh! How bitterly I weep
When I perceived how very deep
The unchecked scourge of its whip
How many died yesterday?
How many will today?
Yet, tomorrow is another day
Maybe or maybe not we live
Hope is what makes us believe
We shall stumble on a lasting relief
You and I have a role to play
For this malady to give way
Give aids with LOVE every day.
Click
Clack
Click, clack
Click, clack, click
Click
Clack
Click, clack
Click, clack, click
On a steady morning walk -
Got a rhythm going
Hearing aids in
And yes, I'm "strollin'"
Click
Clack
Click, clack
Click, clack, click
Noisiest coat in the world.
Thunk
Rain drops falling
Thunk
Click, clack, thunk
Click, clack, clunk
Thunk, click, clack
Yes - The noisiest coat in the world.
Forget it. Focus.
Enjoy the beat
Feel the rhythm
Listen to the tweets
Tweets?!
Birds? Cool, that's sweet
Tweet. Click.
Clack. Thunk.
Tweet. Clack.
Click. Clunk.
Engines ever revving
Bus burps and roars
Noises from everywhere
Just walk. Don't pause.
Roar. Click.
Growl. Thunk.
Burp. Tweet.
Rev. Clunk.
Cold crisp morning
Breath hangs in the air
Echoes in my ear drum
Like a symbol and a snare
Loud conversation -
Don't look back.
Scrape of the foot
Catch a puddle with a splat
Breathy bash
Puddle splash
Click, clack
Click, clack, clunk
Got a pace going there
And enjoyed the view
Tiny terrier yaps
Yes, I heard you - thank you!
Yap. Bloody yap.
Click, thunk, clack.
Keys at the ready
As I get to my door
Clang & bang as they jangle
And pick the paper from the floor
Even newspaper's noisy
Rustles loudly - what a pain.
Hearing aids - OUT
For quiet sanity again
No more click, no more clack…
RAID ON AIDS
Methuselah’s age, wisdom produce
Longevity a dream comes true
Humanity, cuts a perfect picture
Our existence, evolved in pleasure
A good life, mortals must treasure
Be very shrewd, to mark a measure
Riotous life, concludes your closure
By a dove’s wisdom, uphold a future.
Productivity groans in decline
Man’s extinction draws its line
A universal pandemic, in every clime
Reckless mortals, faintly holds to time
Time ticking, the end is bleak
Many a robust dream fades in a leak
Can we then pitch a niche at the peak?
A many vision with hearts, it breaks
The very raid, is coming from aids
A careless lay, you are sealed with aids
Jailing the libido, then be spared the raid
Raid on aids
Not just an African affair
With a universal sense, all must be fair
This fight involves, plenty conscious pair
The rampaging aids is not a friend
Yes! Viciously a means to an end
Let’s unleash a raid on aids,
Indeed the monstrous aid is on the raid
The aids raid may put up a scare
Raid on aids, let’s charge in offense
A surprise attack, it beats a retreat
Raiding the monster, will save our world
A whole new world free from its raid
Moral adherence, tames this beast
Abstinence pairing fidelity makes the champion
Be very smart, guarding your loins club.
One casual adventure, will perhaps seal your fate
I dare, but ask?
Should we raid the aids?
Who can dare its geometric raid?
Aids indeed, deserves the raid
For humanity sake, lets put paid on the aids
An all out war against the aids
A raid on aids, will aid the world
Raid the aids, only not on the pages
Actors war better on stage
Let’s wear rage,
And confine it, to its cages
So humanity will leave through the ages.
A dedication to humanity’s global fight against the deadly scourge, AIDS,
Author: the Holy Spirit.

I am not afraid of Aids
You inflicted man with terror
By destroying the most beautiful thing on earth
That is love
This doesn’t matter whether you are poor or rich
Man used to share sentiments and to proof their blood connection through
making love
It’s the will of God that conception of a man derives from making love
You’re jeopardizing the art of the Almighty
You keep on killing them thinking that you could be the only stabilizing factor
on earth
You are wrong I am prepared for you
Come!! Come!! Come!!
Defeat the weak and those who are in denial of your existence
I test timeously to see whether you’re brave enough
Boffins has discovered a mechanism to ambush you
You fear ARVS like a nightmare of a prisoner
You decide to hide in the cheeks and joins
So that you can remain unconquered
Time is near
I wish to be there by the day of your elimination
To embrace my happy face and the tears of joy
One blond small frame curled up
in my lap, an arm around my waist
One small finger trails the leather straps
and small metal strips
that keep me upright:
"Why are these there Darren?"
"Because my back hurts, sweetie"
Silent debating in baby brain,
reworking information to
easy to swallow bits
"Shall I kiss the boo boo away?"
Her head disappears into tickling kisses
that make me squirm and giggle
"Does it still hurt?" "Yeah, sorry baby"
She sprints, runs, jumps screaming
in delight, returns with a handful
of Dora band-Aids
At this very moment she is playing
somewhere, with her toys
My harness is plastered with Dora
I've never been so decorated in my life.
