Beggars by Scholarincharge(m): 1:47pm On Dec 27, 2015
You call us the dingy hopeless
But we hope for our daily mess
You insult us when you throw us change
Yet, we never change
You see us as the lack
That takes your lack
But we have some you lack
Hiding the white, hawking with black.

We extort you of your bead
Expecting income sans a bid
In disguise of those in need
We hope for righteous deed
We wear tethered rags
To steal from your brags
We tax you of your fruits
Touching not your suits
Many of us have trailers
Heard you? It will seems like thrillers
