Best Beggar Poems

FACE OF A BEGGAR CHILD

I saw your tear-stained face O’ child
It swam before my eyes at night
I clearly saw your life’s struggle,
Your painful hunger pangs and fright.

In my dreams I could clearly see
Your shredded clothes and unkempt hair.
At such a tender age O’ child,
On your...

We are as similar as opposites can be
He's short and puny, I am gangly
He barks when he's happy, angry or sad
Yes, he's my dog and he makes me glad

He looks at me with reverent eyes
As I beg before the world, for a morsel of rice
He's...

" ....They profess to know God, but by
their deeds they deny Him...."
                 ------Titus 1/16



The old cracked church sat sleeping atop the hill,
yawning spire and bell,
the quells of forgotten voices...

From down the road the beggar ran
To catch up with the wealthy man
Because the coin he knew he’d give
Would help the lowly beggar live.
And the man was hard but the beggar had a plan.
 
The hungry beggar knew about
The man’s disdain for any lazy lout
So...

BEGGAR LADY ON A CHURCH STEP
   (APROPOS IN GOD WE TRUST)

Her lips quivered with despair 
as the frail hand struggled with its self
to position outstretched.

Tormented eyes bulged
from cryptic sockets:
testaments of hunger’s victory.

Then loudly can the chilling voice
piercing the solemn silence screaming:

“Go away! ...

The beggar

Wizened by lack, more than by age
The old blind beggar, who does loiter our streets
Unknown to most, is the legend
Behind the tales of Joe the bandit

With his great horde, he'd ridden into our town
The mordacious look, on his heavily bearded face
Did elicit fear, from...

My mother loves x flag
My father votes y party
My grand parents favour c party
But I’m on basic training of begging!
I too can dream!
Great men began life like me!
I’m confident, I can be great!
Income of my nation is inadequate
to fulfill the stomachs of our poor leaders!
Once...

His eyes are glued upon your plate
Hoping a morsel might escape
Anything that reaches the ground
He'll gladly wolf it down
Anticipation is his fate
Wanting a taste of master's steak
The aroma fills the air
Hungry eyes stare
Every precise cut they see
Every bite they plead
Every chew they woo
Every swallow they...

The Prince And The Beggar  

My friend

I beg of you
As you beg of me

Come on sir,
They all been deceived
They are all asleep
To what was promised to any he

And you will be
The new disease
It will infect everything

The word will circle round
As...

THE BLIND BEGGAR

The blind man stood there begging as he had done before,
But something then was different with the coming of the Lord.
He’d heard about this person who healed the sick and lame,
And he was very certain He could do it again.
And so he cried...

A Gentleman who walks miles
Through the streets that are dirty.
The streets where he lives of,
Walking with a passion

A Dream! As He walks towards His eiland,
The beggar picks up cigarettes butts,
Ten cents he collects,
Spotting them one by one

Finding a bench
Next to an elderly man
“Resting time” says...

Beggar of Old London Town

A beggar man of old London Town,
Sadness on his face, heavy frown.
Gave him kindness and food,
Lighten his heart and his mood,
Old Soldier who fought for the Crown....

The beggar, once prince,
is now dancing on his head.
He tries be common.

The beggar gives gold.
How he tries to give it worth
in the people's hands!

The beggar, confused,
listens to the great singers,
impressed by found words.

Everyone is
a little bit right and wrong:
all we know of truth....

I’m too old to live out these songs I sing.
There has been too much pumped into these veins.
But if you remember how I was back in time… 
Won’t you toss me a nickel or a dime?

I used to travel all around the world.
and I bought...
