Beggars Legislation

The Beggars Legislation
By David J Walker

The beggars dream standing up right
On the next street corner

Knowing how things ought to be
Knowing safe places to sleep and eat

A nation of their own 
A kingdom unto themselves 

Taxing the merciful in denominations of 
Street-smart wealth

In turn praying for the souls of all those
Who owe it all to someone else
