PORTRAIT OF AN INFECTED HIV GIRL
Born great and endowed with brilliant potentials
Her parents the path and guide to which she discovers and fulfils her divine purpose
But they became invisible as she grows
Her parents the path and guide to which she discovers and fulfils her divine purpose
But they became invisible as she grows
At adolescence she is drawn by all sort s of emotional pulls and peer pressure
She quest for an answer for her physical changes and sexual drives.
Alas! No one to her rescue
Before long, she was lost!
She quest for an answer for her physical changes and sexual drives.
Alas! No one to her rescue
Before long, she was lost!
Lost in the crowd of the unguided
Misdirected and the uninformed generation.
By her 16th birthday, she has been sexually abused
Her virginity, already gone
Her first child, aborted
Her womb, tampered with
Her emotions, distressed
Her self image, shattered
And the ultimate, her health, been infected with HIV/AIDS
Misdirected and the uninformed generation.
By her 16th birthday, she has been sexually abused
Her virginity, already gone
Her first child, aborted
Her womb, tampered with
Her emotions, distressed
Her self image, shattered
And the ultimate, her health, been infected with HIV/AIDS
The sad note is this
Her talent, untapped
Her youthful and exuberant energies, improperly channelled
And her dreams, unrealized
Her talent, untapped
Her youthful and exuberant energies, improperly channelled
And her dreams, unrealized
She could be your daughter, niece, sister or aunt.
Let’s act now!
Let’s act now!
