    The Begger







                                The Beggar

                         I am sick and lonely.
                         My home is the street
                         And my appearence is unkempt.
      
                         To passers-by I beg money,
                         Falling on deaf ears.
                         The few friends I may have are astonished.

                         They notice my cheeks are red.
                         How should they know I smile.
                         Is it the redness of the wine?

    Thank you hopor for reading my poem The Begger

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
