    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?
