The woman begger

He said don´t pay her from his new car.
As the begger approached.
"What she done to earn it?"
As she approached with her missing teeth and dirty clothes.
Survival on the street is all she knows.
As the motorist shook his finger even though it was in her face she was hurting.
The woman humbly apoligized for the disturbance and exited with her children dressed in old curtains.
The driver laughed and added, "There´s not enough teets on society´s cow."
I managed to pretend to laugh somehow.
Bragging is rewarded, honesty is unknown.
A demon issued tickets to where your conscience has flown.
Waves of ignorance drain our compassion and pump our hate full of stimulants. the old and wealthy decrepid and impotent.
Ambition and the constructs of competitve arenas. Blind consumption and the way it bleeds us.
The woman begger and her life to you are vague distractions. No money, no dreams, few belongings and no attractions.
Middle aged emptiness and denial, when half the world just aims for survival. Mediocre entertainment and how the masses sit back and marvel.
Social advancement and human life first, high ideals- when we´re not dying of hunger or thirst.
How you love to condemn the woman begger!
