Back To The Trenches Poem by G. Akanji Olaniyi

Life, it is often said, is a war
Battles after battles; challenges running into challenges
Life goes round and round
As you either endures the pains
Or savour the victories
Then make headways through the darkest of nights
Even in days of high intense
When tempers flare like infernos
You want to keep your cool
And take an honest stock of things
But if the battles are getting tougher
Challenges are getting the more
Then take a back-stepping
Return to the drawing board
And re-evaluates the mechanism
Just go back to the trenches!
