No joke at poor

Sunday,2nd December 2018

 

Cut no joke at the poor

especially when he lives as a neighbor

it will hurt his pride and honor

it may look us casual or minor

 

cut no sorry figure

when he comes near

and asks for some favor

never scold him with harsh words

 

for him, life is a curse

as he has no other source

except to beg and roam in the streets

where no one will greet him

 

His dress remains shabby

and we call it the hobby

to represent fake picture

and earn out of pity later

 

use no word gun

just to make fun

throw some coins in his begging bowl

drop it heavily and show as discourtesy call
