“It is a beggar's pride that he is not a thief”, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.
when his time comes
his imprints on the sands
of pain he will leave
in an unmarked grave
none to grieve ..
no friends no relatives
just his sorrow his beliefs
carried on the shoulders
of death the thief..
redemption salvation
from humanity
he will receive
by this little boy
a beggar bereaved
nothing gained
nothing achieved
by his cosmic fate
at his birth accidentally
misplaced deceived
