HIV & ME My attempt at Poetry bu james jc gough

This WAR on HIV must be won by education & awareness!HIV & Me,My Attemp At Poetry!!!by james jc gough
ITS ALMOST IMPOSSABLE I WOULD VENTURE TO SAY,when will love come my way?I been poz since 2001,let me tell you it hasn't been fun!!At first i was angry,then depressed,i didnt know if i would regress,about HIV,i knew even less!!!So i read and researched on this Virus callede HIV,i wanted to know what was killing me,slowly but surely it killed my desire,but now i was off of that cokecaine highwire,and my head slowly cleared from its deep quagemire.I lost so many friends and loved ones too,HPV,HIV & hep-abc just to name a few,diseases and drugs go hand in hand like a spreading evil across this great land,Drs and scientists searching for cures,while pain and suffering are what we endure,money pours in from all kinds of places,the guilt and greed on rich mens faces,money money money,its all i hear,how shortfalls and cutbacks are always near,and of course its always the poor,that are hit that hardest and yet they endure and have no fear,could it be their faith and hope?thats brought them through the slippery slopes?of life and trials and tribulations,of the joy and love & constelations,of dreams unfulfilled & desires unmet,so many gone never to see the sunset,lost to us early ,no more to rise,Untill the end of days ,no more blue skies,this isnt the way,kindness and love are what we need,to practice and promote,love and not greed,Jesus & Bhudda & Alah too,all knew love would see them through,For isnt this what each one preached?So why the Wars,i cryed,i beseached,to stop this stigma & discrimination that has engulfed so many a nation,So wars & fighting are not the right way,to love our naybers now this we may,hope to win this end to fighting,Then this poem would need no writing,to try and change Mans love of War,into a war of love,why isnt this what He said from HIM above,that man should practice alot more LOVE,so this it it i got to go,i 'm off,I have HIV and my name is joe!JOE GOUGH!!!!typed today by james "joey"gough,sudbury ontario canada GODBLESS ALL MY FELLOW HIV-AIDS WARRIORS WITH PEACE,LOVE,AND HAPPINESS 4 EVER!
