May 2013
Was walking in a street one day
Nowhere to go, no one I knew
Heading to the unknown world
Hoping for nothing,
zero  expectation ,
infinity life,
My head was empty
My heart sang a lonely song
I became a beggar not by choice
Lost everything in a stupid bet
Ended up in a lonely street...
Friends became enemies
Relatives deserted me
My wife changed her surname
My kids told friends their dad was dead
My thirst , my hunger was haunting me
and starvation killed my sleep
Sky was home, bus stop was bed...
****** hungry... ****** tired
Should I call Pizza Hut delivery?
checked my pocket...
hoping for a dollar or two
****! There was a big hole in my pocket!
What choice did I have now?
They all said " Beggars can't choose."
