I stumble, I fall I cry or ask In a shriek or melody Surviving seems the task Torn clothes broken body
Million eyes passing by me Ignoring the wet eyes Asking for some mercy, for glee A glace on me The kindest heart flies
Sharing one room But left for doom By fellow humans I feel like an abandoned groom
The strange stares Eyes telling no one cares Sitting walking and dancing for dimes They throw rocks and curse at times
Asking for food From any hood Will do no good You can get it sometimes Depends on mood
Seldom they think About the fellows in misery Frequently they blink Before watering the rosery
Knowing the fact I have an ugly face Still my tension intact What am I doing in this race
To them I'm a runner with no legs Neglected like I'm a rich guy who begs
Wishing they knew my condition So to my misery there's no addition I guess they don't know hunger If they did my asking food wouldn't bring them anger
I'm always trying to lend a helping hand But they think I'm begging, there eyes filled with sand I'm a test for them from the Lord He's seeing which of the believers will accord To his teachings and orders And win the fight at borders The borders of humanity and Animals The borders of nature and chemicals
I'm a beggar in the streets Walking and talking to myself I'm lost in this ruthless world Homeless hoping for a stranger To pass me a smile Talk to me for a while
The deepest secret will now I reveal Money is the last thing a beggar begs for I can go on without a two day meal Even animals get food That's no big deal
The untold wishes of a beggar never unfolds He's begging for love, for friends, for happiness Not courageous enough for this secret to be told Your passing smile or a small talk can lend the courageousness For a beggar to unveil What he actually begs for....
