Beggar

He sits alone in the street
Resting for his weary feet
His dog snuffles at his heels
And sleep takes away his fears

He carries an empty shopping bag
And one sad burnt-out fag
He’s got nothing to eat or drink
But endless hours to sit and think

Rain comes down with no care
He pours his tears to empty air
He sits in a doorway, no one around
The road stays still, devoid of sound

He sits alone in the street
Resting for his weary feet
His dog snuffles at his heels
And sleep takes away his fears
