A Beggar For a Piece of Bread

Each Experience is locked within my heart and only I hold the key of sadness of a human being in town insight questions me A beggar for a piece of bread cries with extreme hunger fainthearted, deserted belongs to present generation with my eyes I do see Takes the wastes all we throw eats on foot path,faded smile along with street dogs and crows lives life like a beast My marketing goes on Sleeps under a leafless tree in railway plat form near drain or under Over bridge or under the sky for cold air On costly silky bed I do rest Clothes are torn and untidy a gaunt face is filled with sorrow sees with loopy eyes drinks water with dirty mug I like branded mineral water Tears mixes with rain no medicine for any pain vehicles are only legs a picture I enjoy senselessly I am happy with modern civilization For Premiere Contest number 5 - Poetry Contest Sponsored by: SKAT A

This is so sad. Someone should give him some old clothes they don't need and perhaps a decent meal. Maybe find him a place to sleep. We have so much, surely we could afford to give him what we don't need. If only I could help him. Good write here. God Bless, JB

would that these circumstances didn't exist.. but they do.. "modern civilization" applies to those with the means to afford it. Tight write, bl.... may justice and compassion prevail... namaste ~N
