Desperation Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

Many have vanished
Inside the hole of desperation
Never to be seen again
Many have been swallowed whole
By their desperate need to get a fix
Their life was permanently extinguished
Life can never be the same once you enter the tent of desperation
Decision are distorted by the strain of a desperate mind
Bad choices are made in that desperate moment
And life is permanently stained
Desperation is a malignant silent killer
Especially among the youth and unemployed
It is a cancer of the mind
Ready to destroy and maim
Desperation is a fatal disease
