at the traffic signal
begging running
behind cars thanks
to that red light
dampened by
bad luck when
the cars move away
the pulsating green
light aware of these
poor childrens plight
born to beg beggar
kids of every height
dark future despair
lit up faces when
the car lights go
bright ..dreams
born died future
out of sight ..leftovers
from stomach restaurant
sipping an empty bottle
of sprite ..poetic meanderings
clipped wings of a beggar poet
aborted mid flight ..monochromatic
melody once in color now posing
posturing as street art black n white
