Folks, Think over the message of one of Gambia's new breed of poets. Keep it up Sister Annie. Chi Jamma ACT INDIFFERENT DIE MY SOUL MATE GAMBIA'S! Wake-up and heed the call The AIDS pandemic is having a ball Choose to believe or pretend not to know Your life, could be at stake today The writing has been on the wall Long before the President's faithful call Newspapers, radios, report the toll As death awaits you all who heed not the call You look in the mirror what do you see? A smiling face looking back at you So confident and indifferent you have become But death awaits you all who heed not the call Our brothers and sisters have taken the lead Openly shared their experiences and fears Of loved ones they will leave behind As death awaits you all who heed not the call Hospitals and clinics care for them all Our brothers and sisters who have befall Victims of Aids's terrible lure Death they await their welcome relief If you still insist on being promiscuous Think of the consequences that follow A trail of pain, suffering and degradation For death awaits you all who heed not the call To YOU who care for all victims of AIDS God's Blessings YOU will surely receive Giving love and comfort they so dearly need Until God's call to eternal rest they receive.
