Sitting on the nook, the roughs of
the road
Bears an attire, dusty rags, torn
robes
Once they were glossy, washed in
petrol
Now looks aghast, spooky than a troll
Life undefined, death certain to
trigger
He begs for alms, Look He’s a beggar
Once he was rich, a man among Lords
Unholy were his traits for refused to
give
Today, yearning to be given, gorging
garbage to live
Punished by the gods, he kept a
selfish ledger
He Begs for alms! Look he’s a beggar
He ate roast lamb, Now seeks stale
bread
Kicked the lowly hard, Now takes
looks he would dread
In spite of his plight I feel his
lasting pain
Lost in despair, belly, back, one
plane
May god forgive thy soul, spare thee
to nature
He begs for alms, Look he’s a beggar
