An inward cry

Begging, of course, is shameful.
To accept alms is painful.
They come without a labour.
As such they are sweet.
The disabled, the invalid
And the paupers have to beg,
Braving the shame and the pain,
With an inward cry nonstop.

As a rule I give alms Only to the invalid , the lame and the real old . But unfortunately there are more able bodied men/ women these days -who do not think that it is a shame to beg ! These scroungers I always scold and shoo away !-Raj
