What I am sharing is a reality not just a QUIP and far it is from being DUPE!
In this critical situation, time cannot allow us to think or speak of GOSSIP!
I cannot be silenced in this cry for the preemie even if to bribe me you offer a SOP!
It’s not a ROPE as you might depict is tied by the COP!
The culprit here is ROP, oxygen is its partner though many think it’s something quite DOPE!
A preemie weighing low quite evidently puts it at ROP a FLOP!
The younger the preemie, far it is from being a JOPE!
Those listening to me must join this fight and shouldn’t just sit like spectators at the KOP!
Like dancers, let’s all come and join this campaign as one TROUPE!
Courage isn’t enough in this fight, consistency in unidirectional efforts is meant to be taken from the bowl as a GALLOP and not just as a mere SIP!
In this battle, try as you can to be far from being a MOPE!
If some preemies you know have already turned blind, stop the mourning and through away the CRAPE!
Those tears you shouldn’t even wait to get dry, but quickly and with gentility, give them a majestic WIPE!
Be the ray of HOPE for the preemies to avoid this nightmare called ROP!
Allow the preemies to see and in happiness WHOOP!
If this plea is not paid heed to, more preemies will keep losing their sight and at things you all can clearly see, they will only wearily attempt to know by GROPE!
Those who wish to join this fight should humbly join as we dream of drafting for Uganda an SOP for ROP!
All those working in different arenas to preserve the vision of the little angels, may God bless them with unwavering HOPE!
