It was World AIDS Day a few days ago, December 1st. Personally I am very emotional when it comes to real life horrors of the lives living in pain or the families that seem to mourn too often. I did my bit this December, I donated £5 to charity. I don't want to stop there or just rest on my oars and say 'hey I donated', I want to be part of a global movement of young minds who have taken it as their duty to enlighten people about HIV and AIDS and go further by setting up charities or liasing with established charities to provide the much needed support to the victims of AIDS.
In doing my quota, I wrote a short poem. It is a very short story titled 'If I had AIDS'
If I had AIDS
I’d like to know that I can get medical assistance.
If I had AIDS
I’d like to be treated with respect; I still, am human.
If I had AIDS
I’d wish everyone not laugh or joke about it, or commercialize it.
If I had AIDS
I’d do my best to make you understand that it is REAL.
If I had AIDS
I’d wish that charity help gets to those who need it.
If I had AIDS
I wish I wasn’t scared to go to bed.
If I had AIDS
And I died, I wish you are wiser after I am gone.
