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.
