Battle Against Poverty

Tourangbam Jenifer *



Yet it's not the end.
Amidst the struggle to upskill
To feed one and all.
Endeavouring to nurture
The requisite of home
Nonetheless, striving hard
To blend in with society
Dreamed with hope
And pondered
Eradicating poverty wholly
Struggling ceaselessly with resilience
Howbeit, fear of hunger is seen.



* Poem written by Tourangbam Jenifer for The Sangai Express
