BEGGAR ME!
It hurts when you want to help and believe...
Realising the reality of "practice to deceive"...
The person with a dog and proffered cup -
The ingratiating smile that says "cough up".
Not quite sure of what is true,
Or whether the need is in them or you?

BEGGAR MY NEIGHBOUR
I saw him appear from the door of the shop;
"Excuse me," he muttered, believing I'd stop.
But I knew what was next and ignored what he said,
Silent, unseeing, I walked straight ahead.
I hurried on by to a brief pause and then
"Excuse me," he called, vainly trying again.
Entering the shop, I felt I had sinned
As another "excuse me" was lost on the wind.
