adieu HIV


Adieu HIV
An Obituary (by fellow viruses)


Alas! Here lies at last 
Our beloved warrior… 
Throttled, weakened and caged
By our enemies of the past…
declared dead till
Released from "the Spell"
Sealed in a glass.

Dear HIV…
O Mightiest among viruses…
O King of the royal retros…
at your fall…
we're left orphaned!
Who will teach us now…
the secrets of entering discreetly
thro' the gates of pleasure…
thro' the narrow lanes of life-blood…
and thro' the sacred cord
to the newborns of our enemies!

O How effortlessly you mixed
with the soldiers of the enemy…
and stabbed them from the back!
Ah! What a beautiful armour
you had…
with glycoprotein spikes…
and an invincible genome inside.

Oh! You're gone
Like our ancestor Variola…
Never to return?

Adieu HIV…
You'll be remembered
in the annals of Virustory
as the youngest and
toughest soldier
Killed by
a wicked vaccines' alchemistry!!
