My second poem...

The Beggar

I saw him in the street
Begging for alms to meet his needs
All he wanted was a crust of bread and a bed
And two eyes to look at him,
And for him tears shed

He walked up and down the road barefoot,
And did not bother to see where he stood,
He lost everything in life,
His wealth, his money and his wife
Dignity was something he possessed no more
And happiness he couldn't look for anymore

His ideas soared up the skies
But the world did not stand by him,
It only did misguide
Never had he expected life to be this way
But it has been so since his graduation day.
