I bought my Lord a Meal !!

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 !!
