A True Beggar's Love

24/10/2018

 

​​the harmlessness of the true beggar is bought at all cost
his kingdom, never claimed, can never be lost

just as the humble meet the ground
with their humble feet
they shall inherit

and the true beggar will toil 
and ask for no return
as the heart that freely gives
truly lives

the true beggar shall receive only alms
 and their heart shall shine through
everything and everywhere
as it calms
 
and they shall be no stranger to the world
ownership was never belonging 
and does not belong
in the heart
of the true beggar
