Ever Beautiful She Was
by Caesar and Gititi, 18 and 20
EVER BEAUTIFUL SHE WAS
Ever beautiful she was
The young and optimistic teenager
From the villages to the cities
Everyone had his or her eye on her
The old and the young
Praised her beauty.
Both the old and the young
Whoever felt thirsty in this journey of life
Asked for some water whose source was her
The old and the young
Praised her beauty.
And there she was
Ready to quench anyone with her water
Be it the old and the young
The old and the young
Praised her beauty.
This sudden chilly morning
Disillusionment filled the village
For there lay her skinny corpse
With the spirit already gone
The old and the young claimed
She was once beautiful.
A fortnight was not over
Cries of the affected filled the air
From morning to evening, day after the other
Funeral ceremonies conducted
All weak and dying said
She was once beautiful.
Why this suffering and afflictions?
Was the cry of the few left
The cry of the lucky survivors
And innocent children.
Just a minute's warmth, changed
A family and a village to a pool
Of orphans, widows and widowers.
A signal of the foreseeable poverty
As all weak and dying said
She was once beautiful.
Weak and dying cursed the once beautiful
But where was she?
Far beyond the beautiful white clouds
Only to be followed by
The ignorant and the innocent.
By Caesar & Gititi.

This poem is very powerful. Really, it is extremely moving. Is it about HIV/AIDS?
Strong, sad verses these. I wonder was this someone you knew, or an image of how one might be?
Either way this is fine writing.
Wonderful poem guys!
