the old beggar



The old beggar
He sits on the 5 foot way
In the day he will be there
Rain or shine it doesn't matter

The walkers pass him by
They can talk of politics and economics
On rising prices and personal dilemma
He just watches eyes longing for money

The echoes of the sound
The old beggar only hope they see him
What he has gone through every day
It isn't about anything; it's about surviving

He gave his youth
When he is old he is left alone
Feeding on begging on public donations
He has nothing left to tie him over
