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
