Poem
Blind- Help me son, help me daughter, help this old beggar, Give a coin, give some water, help this blind creature. Help this aged, come to aid, help this downcast blind, Draw your hands, off you pockets, mix your hands, combined. Lacking sleep, bloody hunger! I'm pale and dying, Ten rupees! quite some offer, at least start trying. Lovely girls, my harmless kids, can't you see their plights, They dream about shining prince, don't they have their rights. Start giving at least something, shall we have some trust, A coin, two or ten like him, something kind and just. Cripple- Hear me all, hear this cripple, hear this handicap, Please be kind and please do mind, ah! coin on his lap. I'm poor and deep in trouble, help this old cripple, My legs were great, not again, I'm week and brittle. Holding stick, without pleasure, I don't have a home, Finding space, seeking treasure, kids are left to roam. Share a coin or one or two, quench my thirsty lips, Old ladies, beautiful girls, let me have some chips, So let me beg, earn my right, give me something great, Ten or more or what you have, something for my gait. Blind- Who is there, is he begging, Is he robbing me? Go and beg anywhere out, you can't beg near me. Can't you see that I cant see, don't you be absurd, I came first, so he should leave, he should speak no word. Cripple- This is train, so I can beg, I shall take what's mine, You can't brawl and make me stop, now you stop your whine. They are souls, some nice people, they won't make me leave, You should stop, zip your lips or they will make you leave. Passengers- Blind and cripple, are they ill, what more should we see. You are right they ain't so good, let them stop and flee. Look, its great, to see them fight, beggars fighting each. Hey! stop, what are you doing? don't you bark and preach, You are ill and more than them, you should be more kind, What they do, shall not matter, you should sit behind. ©Anees Rahman
