One Kind

One came with a plague
Banging with a plate
Sounding his ailment 
Begging to all
As all could see
For a reprieve 
to sooth
 his yawning emptiness
the other came 
clothed in purple robe
making a claim
 to sooth my pain away
while trying to clothe
and pin a gain
so as to set tent
for the rainy day.
