AN AIDS ORPHAN

A disease reaching pandemic proportions and SAfrica has 1000's of orphans

He Walked On Without Any Care
To Him Life Has Not Been Fair

His Appearance So Dishevelled and Clothing So Torn
He Looks helpless and He Looks So Forlorn

His Mother Was Taken Away When He Was Just a Child
He Is Now Looked Upon As Dirty and Wild

He Struggles To Keep Hunger and Thirst Away
Life Has Become a Gamble for Him Each Day

He Does Not Know the Feeling of a Warm Bed
He Does Not Know the Feeling of Being Fed

How Did His Life End Up This Way?
Will His Misery Ever Go Away?

He Was Unaware That His Mother Had Gone
At The Very Moment He Was Born

This Monster That Snatched His Mother Away
Was Soon To Come Back For Him One Day

This Monster Called "Aids" Had Known Him before His Birth
This Monster Is Now preying on the Weak of This Earth
