Life's Challenges Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

It's all in a life time
That we experience life's challenges
Like day and night
Life's challenges are stitched on the fabric of life
Penetrating the solid barricade of our hearts
Piercing through our Souls
Until tears fall out of our eyes
Ripping open our hidden secrets
Exposing our ill-defined reality
Hospitalizing our egos
Imprisoning our minds
In a fortified fortress of distress
Life's challenges are painful moments
Pain, sorrow, grief and loss
Debt, addictions and poverty
Sickness and incarcerations
All form the spear of life's challenges
