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
