Everything Seems To Be Collapsing Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

The storm is raging
The battlefield is drenched with blood
The arrows are hitting home
There are no words to describe this carnage
It is a horrific scene inside the bowl of existence
Humanity is buried in a raging flood
Death has overtaken the floodgates
It is the breaking news that bashes our hearts
Bringing sorrow to our innermost sanctuary
The waters of the spirit are rattled
We are struggling to keep still
It is now a battle of the spirit
But we have to hold on
We have to summon the courage
To continue the fight
We can't give up now
We cannot surrender
We have to re-group and re-strategize
The enemy is sharpened
The war has just began
We must stand our ground
We must free ourselves from fear
And be full of courage and hope
When everything seems to be collapsing
We must hold hope higher than ever
