Gambia: Poem On HIV/Aids

By Nichola Sambou Dippa Kunda, 10 August 2012

AIDS!!! WHY RUNNING AWAY?

Aids you snatched my father and left me with no one to pay my fees,

Aids you seized my mother and left me with no one to feed me,

Aids you killed my sister and best friend and left me without a companion,

Aids you took my brother away in his teens when the neighbours needed him most.

On day, Aids wanted to conquer me but guess what, as aids drew nearer to my door, "he" saw a big poster of His Excellency Sheikh Professor Alhaji Dr. Yahya Jammeh on the door and Aids quickly ran away.
