HIV: The Capitalist Virus
They said you came from chimpanzees—
That deep in some African jungle
You leapt across species,
A silent hunter cloaked in blood.
But we have lived with chimpanzees
For tens of thousands of years.
We shared forests,
We shared meat,
We shared mythologies.
Why now?
They claim you're a natural disease—
But if that were true,
Why does nature not offer a cure?
Polio fell. Smallpox vanished.
Yet you—since

Sicknesses In Action
Bp is up
Tb is breaking
Asthma closes up ?
Ebola is exterminating
HIV is viral
Cancer is cutting
Diabete is destroying
Corona is crushing
Malaria is messing.
People are crying
Hurting
Dying daily
Here and there.

Hiv Virus Today
Still of weeping rank
At Blood Bank
And a Monster to tackle
In Transfusion circle;
Donors to save their pints
Or get ready to be clients
For the fiercest legal battle
That could The Bones rattle
Of their counsels: Baker or Sawyer
Widely judged “The Best Lawyer!”
Still oiling The Aids chainsaw
Whose savagery is sure:
A body violating its symmetry
And flying it to the cemetery

Hiv and Aids
Poems we can tell
HIV AND AIDS
Am a killer
No weapon forged against me prosper,
Truly , this is not a thriller
Here I stand as conqueror.
I killed thousands, with no mercy
In some of you, am producing off springs,
But this is not the end, there is another chance,
Start ARTs, follow instructions, then you fly without wings.
Before taking a ride
Better

The Hiv Test
He walks around town
bouncing
over size t-shirts
baggy jeans half way his butt
each day wearing a mysterious smile
today with this
tomorrow that
as easy as his wink
so they come and go
She thinks she is the It gal
Beauty and brains i am
Self acclaimed beauty pageant
She thinks the many she bed
illustrates the hotness of her brand
She forgot it is the cheap

A Shot of Hiv
Heart blushes
Full of threat
As the blood swims on the inner
Carries danger on its hosts
Infections amidst
Cells stopped dancing
As the virus replicate
Immunity shut down
Nerves get crazier
The brain sings a lonely tune
As the body waved goodbye
Never imagined that one pleasure
Will bring an unwanted harm
The system has surrendered
Death applauded for its wait
The physique is now gray
Eyes closed as the

The Day I Heard I Had Hiv
The day I heard I had HIV
The letter from the health department read like this in so many words: “Your lifestyle has caught up with you and you have been a naughty girl. You have contracted something possibly, but we wanna make sure it?s positively HIV.”
Now, it didn't mention those 4 capital letters (AIDS), knowing

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

Hiv You Know Has No Shame
HIV YOU KNOW HAS NO SHAME
Treat sex as a game,
Even when you try,
HIV you know has no shame,
It’s truthfully not shy.
The thrill might seem to fill,
The veins with caressing pleasure,
The virus delights to feel
The cozy invite in your time of leisure.
I sense tissues screaming resistance,
Declaring knowing more than necessary
On this subject we all need assistance
As

Hiv Positive
HIV Positive
I am HIV positive that I know,
But I will exercise my civic right,
As my blood continues to flow,
For my views to be heard I will fight.
Known to have been wayward and careless,
That does not mean I cannot be benevolent,
Which had made me to be fearless,
This malady has made me to be malevolent.
I Love playing

The Hiv-Aids Crisis
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

Hiv Is a Judgement
Kisses good-bye; waved out the door.
Sitting at the shore. The water is still rolling.
You want to know how much longer I'll be here for.
We'll all be here till death is at the door. Methadone,
morphine will squelch the pain, but for that ONE day
when it won't work anymore.
All the threads have been cut
