Son of a beggar

It was a cold night,he was standing under the street light,
probably 12 yrs old,The boy was shivering in the cold.
He was begging for sumthing to eat,
No one cared,still he hoped sum one wud feed.
He never saw his father,his mother never bothered--about Him
Last time he had food was 2 days ago,
wen he won a fight with a dog,Killing his own ego!!
Now hunger was winning over him,
it was now or never,No food now,His life wud end forever!

i dunno who said "A hungry man,is an angry man"
but whoever said it,said it rite!!
hours passed by like years..
still no one seemed to react,
they didnt hear him,probably they had wax in their ears!!
This was it!! he yielded to -"The breaking point"
it is said ther's only a thin line of demarcation between human and animal !!!
now he switched sides,the beast within came outside.
Besides his pride,resurrected!
He recalled wat happened the other day
A guy hid a knife in the trash can,near him and went away!!
the beast within him chuckled!
He took that knife,
Now he asked an old guy for money,
though at first the oldie teased,
he got freezed,wen he got a cut in his fore arms...
Finally!! money and pain switched sides!!

After the boy killed his hunger
he realised that he was no more a beggar
As long as he had that kinife!!

  3. Truly said.
    And nicely portrayed the rise of crime first in head and then in more physical form.
    But the reasons truly enunciated the cause.
