Beggary- The one thing which is witnessed, observed and existent almost everywhere
They supposedly aren't given respect, their livelihood filled with despair
Standing on the streets or waiting in signals begging for alms
Little do they know that all they have is what is left in their palms
They are forced to sleep on footpaths, their lives being miserable
Chances of their survival conspicuously being unstable
Helplessly they wander as they have nowhere to go
When will they be freed of this..they waiting to know
Beggary makes them look hopeless and egregious
Poverty is as it is more prominent, more vicious
Capability can handle challenges, not accept charity
The amount of challenges and the hurdles they face is studded with absolute severity
Shyness is a luxury reserved for those who are above poverty line, for beggars being shy is insidious and deadly
They can and should overcome this situation slowly but definitely
It is a beggar's pride that he's not a thief
After all they are beggars, their lives immersed in disbelief.
