In honour of...

My mother infected by the one she trusted,
infected by my father
My sister, infected by the one she tried to save,
infected by blood
My daughter infected by the one who gave her life,
infected by her mother
My brother, infected by the one he failed to love,
infected by his lover
My cousin, infected by the one who gave him work,
infected by a needle

Countless faces across the globe
struck down by one with no face, no voice,
a silent visitor who strips us of all...

In honour of those affected by HIV
The fight continues...
