Hey, Steemians, this poem is a unique piece from my father Benjamin Mathe, he is a poet and retired policeman.I feel very happy to be sharing some of his poems.All his poems that I will post will be credited at the end by the initials "B.M".Most of his poems are inspired by his day to day life experience and the challenges that life throws at us.Hope you will enjoy reading!!!!!

I'll be back is a poem my father wrote back in 1998 when he was bedridden & battling for his life after being diagonised with Tuberculosis.

My body is worn out, thin and weak
After taking the effects
Of a violent tuberculosis attack
Some people reassure me
That I'll be back on track
While others are
Already spreading the rumour
That i will not
Make it at the end of the year
Because i have the deadly Aids Virus
Who are they to judge me
When they are not even related to God?
With my trust in God, my packs of
tablets.
The support from friends and relatives
And my family,
I believe that i will pull through,
an be back in track again.

By Benjamin Mathe(B.M)

    Benjamin Mathelf was a courageous man who faced reality. Being a taboo in the 1990 to talk about Aids he was man enough.
