Living From Hand To Mouth Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

Living From Hand To Mouth



Squeezed from all sides
Drowning in debt
Life becomes a boxing match
Pouncing on you non stop
Bringing you down with every punch
Celebrating your fall
In search for a technical knockout
Life keeps lifting you up
While at the same time
Burying you alive
Living from hand to mouth
Unveils the new face of poverty
Injustice that soothes the throat
As it burns your lungs
