Four words - half wiped - remains
On a green chalkboard;
Sparking controversial, heartfelt
Conversation amongst students
Waiting for the next lecturer to
Walk in, wipe the board, and continue
As if the statement and meaning
Never existed.

"Aids is killing SA" it proclaims.
A message of truth when looking at
The frightening statistics.

So when the message is erased,
The conversation has ended,
And hour fades into the next,
Will they who saw it remember
Or continue in ignorance that
Would only enforce the
Truth of the statement?
