Manila traffic
Heavy rain
Toothless beggar
Shows no pain
Twisted feet
Move him along
Hear him sing
A Beggar's Song:
"Newspaper?
Cigarette?
I can do!
Please please Sir!
I'll bring to you!"
Pesos dropped
As traffic stands
He picks them up
With shaky hands
Kids run now
So they can eat
A piece of fruit
A beggar's treat
Amid my worry
And the rain
The Beggar's Song
Heals me again
