The vagrant beggar in seeming drunken stupor Clumsily staggers about hither and thither No one truly wishes to lessen his pain Turning backs on him with disdain Now and then a half hearted benefactor Presses into his hands unusable note in tatters We watch from a distance, ebbing flame of conscience To glowing heart hardening resistance by our egos indifference 15-May-2021
