Not Ashamed To Beg

NOT ASHAMED TO BEG

     On my left, there is a
            pantomime.
On my right are those things
            I wish I had,
      But are never mine.
  Please give me food, they'll
            give me ounce
 Sometimes, they give none
              They'll say,
  Don't come tomorrow else
         you'll be bounced.




        If begging is not a sin
       I'm not ashamed to beg
If begging won't make me marry
            the Obama's kin
 Still, I'm not ashamed to beg
   See me,not as a beggar but
     a man wealth hasn't seen.


On my breath, thee placed an
             embargo.
               Else,
I would've traded with a cargo
I've got no money,even God knows
I'm hungry,you can easily see
          my nine bones.



      

              When I Beg,
   Please show me some love
                 and help
      Don't give to me those
         gestures of despair.
I'm not proud to beg,just don't
 want to steal to make a earn
Not ashamed to beg,please    
          cleanse my tear.
