Poetry: AIDS

by Encre Noir

Created on: April 22, 2008

WHY AIDS?
(Translation)

Why leave desperation on your way?
Why erase all joy on your trail?
Why don't you come down a single way?
Why take everyone with you on your trip?
Why is it that no one has protection,
Grown ups, children, all nations?
Why do you choose death for your brother?
Why do you make brothers fear each other?
Why are you fighting peace?
Tell me why AIDS.
Tell me why.





POUKI SIDA?
(Original, Creole)

Pouki l ou pase ou kite dezespwa?
Pouki l ou pase ou efase lajwa?
Pouki ou pa vini yon manny spesyal?
Pouki ou pran tout moun an jeneral?
Pouki pys moun pa alabri
Ni granmoun, ni timoun, tout patri?
Pouki ou chwazi lanm km fr?
Pouki ou f youn p lt, menm si se de fr?
Pouki w'ap f lag ak lap?
Di mwen pouki Sida
Di mwen pouki?
