Notes This poem describes the conditions in an AIDS orphanage in Malawi. The speaker of the poem is standing in front of a child who has been orphaned by AIDS, and who now has AIDS themselves. The speaker acknowledges that it wasn't the child's fault that they were infected, and that the blame lies with an accident of genetics, the government, and the Western World as a whole.
