The Beggar

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 the beggar,
Asking the man for a lighter.

What a good hearted person?
Two rand with directions to the nearest shop!
The beggar rushes to buy matches,
Before the break of dawn.

And There He Stood

an empty train,
full of riches.
touring through the pain
a tour Guide

As he walks out of the bushes
wondering around.
people with packets,
a car guard on focus
The last bit of leaves
Autumn was drawing closer

and there he stood.
an angle, a gap.
an old-lee faded building
The Garden, in proportion
Tour-est walking by.

and there he stood.
a rusted fence
the injustice!
the feeling of crime

and there he stood.

As the Morning Day Comes

It's a windy winters afternoon,
The Medwood Gardens is full of voices
Birds are singing in the evergreen trees.
Stray cats are playing while enjoying their scroll.
Dark grey clouds,
not yet a drop of rain.
the emptiness lies deep inside.
the broke down,
the heart-ship,
She was once full of stature.
Now just an empty fountain;
