| World was busy and almost settled down Time for dinner and the Lord was hungry He was dressed in a bright yellow jumper And a short under pants, that was too old He was bare footed, not a pair of thongs He’s really old and had a pleasant face It was my Lord with grey hair and white beards He had a trolley bag, and his home in it He was looking for some help around No one did care, too busy in their world Lord was hungry, no one bought him a meal He started to search in the garbage bin For some bits and pieces of food to eat ! Here comes the Cops, Peace keepers of the land Awful for them seeing him in the bin They didn’t truly care what he was looking for “Ours is a rich land, shame to eat from a bin ! Not a third world state to feed from that bin !” But, He had no money to buy a meal He was hungry, No one gave him a meal ! They took him to where they feed those poor They in fact wanted to give him a meal It was me, the lucky staff at that place !! My Lord came to me for a meal that night !! Escorted by the Peace keepers of the land I was helpless as No meals were left in the kitchen I can’t send my Lord back to the bin that night It would be too bad to send him back in hunger I offered him my meal, I planned to buy From the shop at my dinner break that night ! Gave cash to those Cops to buy him a meal “No, Thanks Mate, we can’t touch your money It’s outlawed, but you can buy him a meal” I ordered a meal for the Lord, a decent one “Not that expensive, some thing cheap will do” Cops insisted to save me some money “It is my pleasure to buy Him a meal”, I said We can never take your money, they continued But we can always give you some money For what you have spent for this homeless man. I told them with a smile : Thanks for that mind Why didn’t you gave him a meal, with that cash, If you can give me money ? No answer !! They asked me, what time I would finish my shift, To buy me a drink as a thanks giving !! Don’t buy me anything, buy for someone, Next time when you see them searching in those bins ! Thanks for giving me a chance to feed this man !! Here comes the meal and a drink for my Lord Handed to my Lord’s shivering hands, He walked away with a smile on His face It was very bright through his white, long beards Lord walked away to sit down and to have his meal He was hungry and I gave him a meal that night !! Thank you Lord for having me to feed you For many around me, who missed that chance !! |
