Beggar Child

Lone baby craving forgotten plays Without holidays your aching days A distant uninspired walker pays While others will not see your dismays Cardboards covering and biting fasting Local shops can’t say when this was starting In search of the desired and vital alms A pallid hand cannot grasp desired calms Your suffering in lasting overgrowing pain It’s an agony become everlasting reign It’s misery which is like an unbroken chain It’s a life where nobody is to put on blame Now darkness and rain will wrap in a homely slope Under the bridge with coal in your fireplace and bowl Solitude and cry deprived of maternal soul Forever alone with a dream of a console
