HIV the Reality : Adult Poetry

We have a problem you and me, with our inability to see

That this Nation is losing all of its sense of rationality

With global health in decrease, and all the third world countries pleas

For us to help them ease the pain and suffering in which their seized

We ignore the atrocities within our own country as we please

While government lackeys spin a web for a public to make them feel at ease

Safe behind the curtain of our country are we, most undoubtedly

The community of zombies programmed for unity within perplexity

Thinking that our enemies, and HIV disease are all in foreign countries

We watch our TV’s like dummies, more concerned with the Grammy’s

Or the Emmy’s than with the realities of a land in so much calamity

The newspaper marquees filled with celebrities and their follies tease

The massing groupies who whirl into frenzies of envy over the newest babies

And turn a blind eye to stories that displease their fragile sense of reality

We refuse to see in our ambiguity that the term “Pandemic” includes us collectively

As a Nation of Democracy part of the global dynamic and not just foreign entities

Fundamental necessity demands the gravity of reality be publicly available instantly

The possibility of HIV being locally residing is in fact a certainty and not a Fallacy.

Education blindly and regularly refuses responsibility to educate on a technicality

Saying that the stories with subjects like these should be discussed only in privacy

The seventies and the eighties saw volleys of entries describing a disease in its infancy

Now almost 3 decades later it runs free globally and the cure only seems but a fleeting fantasy

We have a problem you and me, in our inability to see the true reality of HIV

Over one million unfortunately are infected in our own Communities, and that's a reality

Take on the responsibility to educate yourself honestly about HIV and its impact globally
