Yes, They Earn What They Beg Poem by Suki Nakamura

Yes, They Earn What They Beg



have pity
give them what they like
some coins
no, not really

what are they asking?
a little notice
a flack of compassion
that you read
what they are writing

why be so greedy?
give them what they deserve
the vote
give it
the comments say it
they will love it

why not? be kind
inspire them to reach the heights
admire them

and you who do not need it,
why grumble?

you have your hands
why not use them for clapping?

you have beautiful lips
why not give them praise?

in giving you make them better
in inspiring them, you do not really have to give much.

why not? why not be a giver
to the beggars, the aspirants,
why not be their audience
their listener their fan

why not? do you ever lose a dime?
have patience and above all
have the compassion
of the gentleman. Try, please try.
