Billions of people have died, Billions, are struggling with it, Billions fighting it, and Billions born with it...
Today, the 1st of December each year, the world remembers them all...
Today, We mourn for those fighters who died after fighting a stiff battle,
Today, We pity those, foolish people, who threw away their lives to chase the two minutes of erotic pleasure,
Today, We feel sorry for those, who were victims of used needles,
Today, We cry for the cursed few, who were born to a life, awaiting death..
Today, we look back, and think,
What if, Condom was not perceived to a socially undesirable word
What if, people were faithful to their partners,
What if, we had good medical aid for everyone,
What if, poverty never existed
What if, everyone is alert and aware
What if, people for once act like 'Human Beings' with a Heart
Probably, then, AIDS would not have been the Worst catastrophe of the Medical world..
Among those suffering from AIDS, a large number of them are women, who go on to pass it to their babies during delivery due to lack of awareness... And thus the chain is in a never ending loop, where a husband or a partner gives to the wife, who eventually passes it to their babies, hence, this virus is unstoppable if people aren't educated to take the necessary precautions...
One really wonders, as to why the hell aren't people aware of this virus, when there is extensive measures taken for its awareness and education? the answer to this may be, because, of lack of interest or fear of knowing.... about this medical condition and the dramatic effect it may have on their present lives... Yet, isolated voices have much to ask, but often these loud-less cries of help gets lost in the noise of the surrounding...
Our society is a coward lot... and it is by our very nature of the way we are brought up, makes us scared and weary of small things, and adding to this, the dreadful tag to the HIV virus, our society, more often than not, isolates people suffering from this virus.. They don't understand that it is not by choice, but my fate that are suffering this.. A normal person can be with the HIV infected person, work with them, hug them, kiss them, eat/ drink with them WITHOUT getting infected yourself.. HIV is transferred only through the medium of blood.. So, guys, don't hate, but Appreciate... Fight the Virus, Not the People with the Virus...
Homelessness, Increased violence, Unemployment, Poverty, Lack of good Medical treatment for all, are the OUR problems, and together WE can make a difference.....in the lives of numerous fathers, mothers, babies, friends, brothers, sisters, Together, We can Fight this! Together we can Win this, Together we can live! Today it is them, Tomorrow it can be you, or me! Spread awareness, educate, evolve, sooner or later, we will be telling tales to our grandchildren about how we fought a war, to have a safe world for them.. Wake up! An uncountable number of people have died, people are dying even as you are reading this,
check out this documentary on AIDS Awareness, which tells you the stories of the forbidden ones, maybe then you will understand the real picture....
