»Let it not be said then (an English sonnet)«

by Christopher Kudyahakudadirwe

Let it not be said then
That there was no one to warn you
From the time when you're children
To this moment that you've the cue
That life is lived but once,
And if you see it so fit
To waste it and let death pounce
Just because you're not afraid of IT,
This monster that we know as AIDS
Which, this world, has terrorised
Relentlessly, despite media ads
To avert being finally immortalised
Then let on one be blamed
When your life by this monster's claimed.
