A Forge Coin

I still remember, The day was very hot, Sun was at the top head, Road was completely burning, Air was totally calm, Sweat was bathing a body, Trees were quiet to keep their shadows, Birds were still singing on the branches, Both sides on the road, There were very big houses, Fans and coolers were active, To reduce the outer burn. A bucket was on her head, She came to finish her cleaning job, A hawker was selling Ice, Her naked son has irritating demand, He was wearing natural skin, His bare feet was walking slow, She was pulling him, When hawker came to her, She freed a coin, From one corner of her scarf, Hawker refused her to take it, She has a forge coin, She was abusing him, Was he a rich man? Why he gave it to me. A bastard beggar.
