the vagrant and hopeless

vagrants and hopeless in penang

The vagrant and hopeless
Begging alms on the streets
The lowly lost souls
Will there be compassion at all?

What make them roam?
No relatives, no friends, no homes
Maybe they were born to test our compassion
Share with them what they don't get?

Maybe they made bad decisions
Lost everything no wills to go on
Chased out from loan sharks and banks
They become the lost souls

Reporters and politicians
Police and welfare officers
Rounding them up
Get rid of them off the streets
The vagrants and beggars will return
The root problem
Find out why they become
Find out what make them beg on the streets

The volunteers will have the reasons
When they mix and counsel these vagrants
Don't forget these people are humans
The authorities shouldn't treat them as nuisance

My view they made wrong decisions
In their young lives when they started out
As years took its tolls on them
They lost no where to go
Family, relatives and friends shunned them
They are all alone growing old

Some for repentance of their sins
Young able bodies begging on the streets
Others on sympathy of the masses
An easy way to earn a living

Majority are sad cases
Mental problems alone in their world
We must show compassion try to understand them
As the Lord says
“The vagrants can enter heavens easily
They don't have baggage to hide
They have their souls they give it all”
