Beggar

"A hand that gives receives" Sad ! Sad to see we've been reduced to nothing but beggars Lining up on the streets to receive The same streets that we lined up our voices Chanting out for change only to get weary, sit down & pick change Call it short changed cause that's what it feels like Giving up the long ball for today Since we all looking out for ourselves That change only feels like a drag to our progress This days the streets are filled with businessmen Yes businessmen ! Because they cash in on the sympathy Only for them to go back to being "okay" At night when they retire waiting for the next dawn It's made the genuine voices get lost in the lines Because they all look out to get something Only to get broken promises and things not changing Atleast money doesn't change, that's why they won't mind lose change It hurts that this people could have had a life like any other But because people lookin the other way Policies ain't being implemented to the fullest And making it even harder for persons with disabilities to get their daily needs The PO£T
