Confused

Confused See him standing there, he’s thinking He is staring, but now too long He stopped walking for some reason And I’m wondering what is wrong He keeps thinking, he keeps staring I don’t know at whom or what What on earth could be the problem? Was it something he forgot? And his staring is so piercing Now I am a little scared But what happens next, I tell you I was really not prepared Just one grab and he starts walking It was quick, but I did see As he walks away while eating I am thinking, ‘How can this be?’ I am shocked, I am bewildered I am sad, I am confused I had never seen this coming And I was really not amused As I struggle to perceive this Tears have welled up in my eyes Though well-dressed, the man his doing Really caught me by surprise But I wished it didn’t happen And I still can’t take it in Now I know not only beggars Eat out of a garbage bin.
