the beggar

01 Jun 2008

A beggar sits on a cold stone Out of pocket, he has no home This beggar, begs for coin or food But passers by, just brand him crude His day consists of endless wonder And in this time he observes and ponders With his omnipresent view on day to day life He only observes a hectic strife And even though the beggar is poor And rests his head on the cold street floor The beggar is not clouded by material desires For pointless aesthetics he does not require The beggar will often sit upon his stone, And chuckle because, though he has not home And on his rock he sits alone His simple life helps him atone.
