when we were beggars

by nylee

We never took more never took any less of our share for our hunger when everyone stared it is rightfully ours. Long before we were the beggars, When we had nothing no more, did millions of tiny chores. We were wronged no one shared, we looked at them gave them pitiful stare, we wanted the same care and now that we climbed the ladder we are no better that we are having our healthy dinner, there is someone rising upper working under the sun this summer and maybe we were wrong and someone knew it better.
