A Poem to HIV Virus
-------------------
 
Dear All,
 
Here is a nice Poem I found on net, worth pondering.
 
  The year was 1996
  The slip of paper passed to me
  Contained that bloody awful news,
  I had what doctors said was HIV
 
  You live inside me and share my body
  But you will never be a bind
  You seek to devastate my immunity
  But will never control my mind
 
  You need me as a host
  And you share my entire life
  You may try to cause destruction
  But alas, you're not my wife
 
  So dear virus, note these few words
  Although we've reached a compromise
  I have grown with you through the years
  And really have become quite wise
 
  You see my friend unless I agree
  That you want to cause destruction
  I will fight you at every turn
  And this is no assumption
 
  I know what you require
  And I know how you replicate
  So without my full consent
  You will never participate
 
  There may be days (just maybe)
  That you feel you've won the fight
  But then my dear virus
  You may have lost your sight
 
  I have made so many new friends
  Who brighten up my days
  If you think that you control me
  Buddy...just two words...NO WAYS
