There’s hope anew for the PLHA! <br />Hope that was never, ever before; <br />Hope that has withstood the times; <br />Hope that has braved the climes. <br /> <br />The stigma is just vanishing; <br />The future is quite promising; <br />It’s no more a scourge of God; <br />It is just another chronic disease, <br />Although a cure isn’t yet in sight. <br /> <br />The world is united against HIV/AIDS! <br />There is loving care for the sad victims; <br />There is no more discrimination; <br />Drugs and ARVs have come to rescue; <br />It is no more a ‘melting disease’! <br /> <br />So, buck up man, woman and child; <br />A vaccine is in the near offing; <br />Practice safe sex and take safe blood; <br />There is renewed hope for all; <br />There is much life after infection <br />for the PLHA; <br />The retrovirus can’t hoodwink <br />scientists for long! <br /> <br />Copyright by Dr John Celes 6-26-2006 <br />Dedicated to all those ‘in the fight against the HIV.’<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/there-s-hope-anew/
