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....
