Pardon Me

Though I am taking food from you and
Though I am living among you
I did nothing to you and 
I cared only to my selfish needs

What a man i am and 
What a soul is mine
I have not wept for the others pains and
I have not shared others grieving

What for I am living here and
What is the use to my society
Though I am living as a man
I did nothing for them

All the lives except me
Are showing their gratis to the society
Even a little fly gave it's life to us
What is the use of my life

Forgive me and pardon me
To spent your valuable wealth
And call me to work for you
I want to repay my debt right now
