*************************
My sister, the only one who understood me
Is now gone due to the letters H-I-V
Why...Lord...why did it have to happen that way
How come she didn't protect herself like I used to say
HIV/AIDS isn't a game, joke or something fun to have
It's torture and not even worth a simple laugh
Look at my sister a victim who died to this as I speak in motivation
It's all her fault for catching the disease for easily falling for temptation
Unprotected sex was a big part of her life
It used to hurt me so bad as though she was stabbing with a knife
Never did she ever listen to me, her own fleshing blood
But too all those different men as they used her brain to flood
They lied like they loved her but really could care less
All they wanted was sex and she wounded up with that H-I-V mess
I tried and tried to convince my sister to do right
Still she stayed with a different man every day and night
I told her good death for her was right around the corner
And now she's gone and I'm left a mourner
Til this day I still tell people the hurt between AIDS/HIV
And how I would never want it to happen to you or me

Than you soo much!! I agree strongly on what you said. Also, I know what it feels like to be in a faithful relationship. Even though I'm young I know about that too.

Its a sad story and one that needs to be read by many. God wants us to be faithful to God and our partners. Some choose to sleep around and I was one of them in my younger years. I am in a loving, FAITHFUL relationship and plan on staying that way. Temptations are out there, but faith and the love I share with my wife are very important to me. Sometimes people that have not found their partners, think that love is sex, but it is not. A true love doesn't have anything to do with sex (it is a great bonus), but love is something that your heart finds not your sex organs! I am sorry for the loss and give you all my love and prayers, The Shaker

this poem brought chills all over my body. thank you for sharing this poem with us (i am assuming it is personal, if not, please let me know).
Awarness is a very important thing, and there is no game with HIV. one hsould never think "it'll never happen to me" b/c everyone is a target. one must be careful and take care of oneself -
Thank you for the comment
