The Beggar With a Sack

Sitting here all-day

Waiting for alms

I travel to my past

When I was walking on this same road

Along with many others

Flinging a coin or two

At the ones sitting on the pavement

Without a second's' glance

Now I am hoping

Somebody understands my plight

Sitting all the in the sun

Only to get a few coins

To have one square meal

And stay alive to

See another day of torment

Life is uncertain

Today's luck may not stay always

You may be a ruler of the kingdom once

But fall to penury on the morrow

So whenever you come across the poor

Give them a second glance

Bestow them with your kindness

And not your careless scorn
