The Beggars And God The Giver Poem by Ratan Bhattacharjee

The Beggars And God The Giver



A beggar is one who begs food and money from others.

But what will you call him
who begs votes from people?
who begs jobs here and there?
who begs love from a girl?
who begs blessings from God?

Now take the other round

Who is the giver?
One who gives votes?
One who gives jobs?
One who loves a boy?
One who blesses a devotee?

Not always sure
A beggar who seeks food is different
from a beggar who seeks votes
though both of them are beggars in your eyes
A boy who begs love is different
from one who begs blessings from God
A job seeker is different
from one who begs love from a gal

Now take all who give
A beggar cannot be giver,
A giver of job cannot be a lover
A giver of love cannot be an employer
And none of these above can be God
God gives and gives and gives bounteously
God's blessing is like rain...
God gives all His blessings and God gives blessings to all

No one is like Him....
Thank you Gracious God, You never beg....

Yes, you are very right... We all are bagger in this world. Some are greedy bagger and some are needy bagger... :) I always pray to God to look upon the needy bagger first...
