Are there days when you want to talk and no words come out?
when you want to speak and there’s no inspiration,
when you want to live but
life doesn’t want any part of you
Those days happen, to me, to everyone, but they happen most
times to some people.
Imagine what it will be like to have to take your bath with
your cloths on,
To have to make up before every selfie,
To have to take permission before you pass ‘flatus’
Many people don’t have to imagine it, they live it……. maybe
not exactly
But it doesn’t have to be so.
For many awesome years, few people have been on the
forefront of a war that is for everyone- the war against HIV/AIDS
In the words of Charlie Sheen “ everyday of every month, of
every year, countless of individuals go to work, man their stations, fulfill
their professional obligations with a host of disabilities, diseases,
imperfections, hurdles, detours………….treated, HIV is no different".
Today’s message goes to everyone
To those who don’t yet know their status –Get tested
To those who know their status- Live right
To those on a vengeful mission- Lay down your arms spread
the message not the virus
To our dear brothers and sisters who think being healthy is
an exclusive merit of theirs, think about that positive infant who knows not
the origin of his status, think about that girl child who was raped, think
about that helpless victim whose life was saved with that blood transfusion,
think about that ignorant spouse whose partner chose to keep a secret, think
about that young man who could only get
a shave in the town barber’s shop, think about all those things you never did
right but didn’t have to pay for them. Think about HUMANITY.
I think its time for everyone to join in the fight, not
against the victims, but against the Virus.
Let us take it down to the zero level:
Zero new infections
Zero stigmatization
Zero discrimination
Zero deaths.
its WORLD AIDS' DAY 2015
LET'S GET TO ZERO
