A Handsome Beggar Poem by nimal dunuhinga

A Handsome Beggar

Rating: 5.0


Under the burning Sun in a corner of a busy road
He begs with a smile like an actor of a movie
And his till is full of notes,
Someone painted the money in different colours.
But the guy isn't happy like
As the soul is still empty and he doesn't know
What he wants?
The painter who knows about these mysterious notes?

* Really what the man wants?

Even the poorest of the poor wear a mask and many clowns are sad inside. I wonder why he painted the notes. It obviously didn't make him feel any better. Profound penning Nimal. love, Allie xxxxxxxxxxx

The truly poor of this world are those who have empty souls. No amount of money could compensate a man for that. A very wise poem, Nimal. Kind regards, Sandra
