The Blind Attack
It has been released like a furious dragon
It is attacking like a blind soldier with a bulldozer,
It is blind, yes; you are the one to escape it.
It is not clever at all, it needs awareness,
Young man from Africa the world needs you
And AIDS is jealous of your future,
It is putting a barrier between you and you future.
A barrier whose engineer is yourself
Putting a corner store and rob end up in a tomb,
This HIV/AIDS with low spit but serious
In its way from everywhere, people are crying.
From school, no teacher no more AIDS is jealous; he has snatched
The parents from their children and has left them
As fatherless to overload the work of those Who are working in the orphan place
The married are now widowed
AIDS has snatched their married ring
And put in long sorrow life
Who will be untouchable?
I don't think one doctor; perhaps you may tell me
It has even landed in the church
And got to the inner party; some altars have now no preachers
Who will escape?
Nurse, perhaps you may tell me
But I don't think so; this is a serious hijacking
These who are taking care of others
Now find themselves lying on
The bed; no one will escape
Unless they do faithfully respect abstinence.
