This poem pays homage to those that have lost their lives to AIDS, cancers, natural disasters and wars. Finally, it challenges people who are still alive to wage active war against these adversaries of mankind.

Mortality.Why embrace them in undue time?
Brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, adults, infants.
Oh, they clamored for life; gasped for breath.
Emaciated by ‘the virus,’ smeared by malignant growths.
Too soon gone, heroes.
Swallowed by tsunamis, volcanoes, quakes and wars.
Snatched by our foes, we watched them depart.
Too soon gone, heroes.
The world’s lost treasures.
Great minds who‘ve slipped to ‘the beyond’.
Out of our arms, from our bosom.
Too soon gone, heroes.
To those who remain,
With life within and blood in the veins.
Arise, arise, arise and contend the adversaries.
Until the enemies retreat and the gloom cease.
