A Challenge Poem by Veeraiyah Subbulakshmi

A Challenge

Rating: 5.0


Let us see how civilized these people would be,
When they are left with a week long power cut,
Not running water taps, credit cards repossessed,
The next destination not known and confused.

Life has its many challenges. Many have found themselves in bad situations but have overcome. The valley of despair have found its way in many of our lives but we have risen above it. Thanks for sharing.

Nice challenge. Life seems easy for some and they don't know what it means to others. Beautiful short poem.

the hollowness of our claim to being civilized is laid bare in this poem, a hard hitting one.
