I am not fake

HIV and AIDS is warning us.

I am not fake

Hey, hey fellows,

Hey , hey lads,

Hey ,hey babes,

Hey,hey teens,

Hey, hey adults,

Don't be hot headed.

Don't be doubting Thomas.

Don't be caught  unaware.

Don't be found wanting.

You have to take heed of the alarm bell.

It is a wake up call.

It's me HIV and AIDS.

I am here to stay.

I am real, I am not faking.

Beating your chest in arrogance pays not.

Dicing with me is shaping your own tombstone.

Digging your own grave in broad daylight.

Trial and error ,to me does not work.

My first cut is the deepest.

Unprotected sex is my breeding ground.

From hot fire to frying pan is my behaviour.

From torture to torture is how I operate.

From diarrhoea to diarrhoea is one of my symptoms.

One night stand without protection,

Can lead to many years of great torment,

Anguish and gnashing of teeth.

Count on me,I am a body destroyer.

I can suck out the immunity in you.

I can  turn you into a heap of bones within months.

I am a graduate killer.

I have no cure for now.

Playing the game safe is what I respect.

I am a chameleon ,I change time and again ,

To deceive doctors.

I "vomit" all drugs, I reject them laughing.

Do not be statistics, stay away from unsafe sex.

I am here to stay.

I am real ,I am not fake.

I am HIV and AIDS the incurable.

The greedy monster,

The merciless demon,

The man eater,

The scary ghost,

The mother of all illness.

I prey the blood of my victims.

I am the undefeated cannibal,HIV and AIDS.

Play the game of sex safe, for me to surrender.

Once I bite you, my munching is irreversible.

I am greedy, I infect two people with one bolt.

For those who are already my victim,

I do sympathize with you.

Keep hoping for a drug,one day  I shall be defeated.

To the carers of the infected and affected,

I say hygiene and safety precautions,

Can spare you from my ruthless jaws.
