A Conversation to end TB<br />

To Be<br />

TB or not TB,<br />

That is the conversation.<br />

We need to free, to end TB.<br />

To spread ahead,<br />

Like a wave,<br />

With what is said.<br />

To talk TB,<br />

Infectious words,<br />

With friends, with family,<br />

To find the undiagnosed,<br />

To be TB free.<br />

TB or not TB,<br />

Is it in the cough?<br />

Rough like the sea, breaking on rocks.<br />

Is it the heaviness of your lungs?<br />

Damp as clouds, hanging low.<br />

Is it the pulsing of your head at night?<br />

Sharp as starlight, heavy as a full moon.<br />

Do not wait, until it is too late,<br />

To see TB,<br />

Until the only question,<br />

Is to be or not to be.<br />

<strong>Health</strong> is 40% clinics,<br />

And 60% communities.<br />

Look after your health, be<strong>for</strong>e you fall ill,<br />

Set diagnosis free, to treat early,<br />

To end TB.<br />
