A Beggar

-The boy visits his mother’s gravesite. He notices he is not the only one in the graveyard.

As I walk in the black morning grave

A man of wisdom is who I see.

Not the one we talk about in the sky,

But someone we spit on or deny

Because of greed. (Because of me!)

He is a man with something to prove

And he has nothing to lose.

And while I do nothing for anyone, anymore…

He keeps firm for something greater.

I must learn.
