The Daughter of a Beggar

The daughter of a beggar

No!

Never going to beg

Father wakes early

To the next door

The huge lady appears

Her face hot with hatred

Daddy kicked

Oh! So painful!

Clothes made from rags

Milk oil for my face

No shoes for my feet

With rumbling stomach

Walk down the street

Asking for help

The daughter of the president

Lies down to wake to soothing music

Bread buttered and coffee

Princess dress worn once and thrown

And I ………and I

The daughter of a beggar

Such a painful reality

This is a poem of an African queen, the daughter of a chief. She was magnificent and humble, and men fought to have her. However, her father would not allow them because he was strict with rules and conditions.

This is a narrative poem of a woman who is going through her daily struggles in life. Every day she hopes that a better tomorrow will soon dawn, but it seems to never come for her.

This poem is dedicated to my grandfather who passed on 4 years ago. I wrote this poem 4 months after he passed on after I felt the gap that he had been left behind.

This is a poem about the inner feelings. I have a dream of a better tomorrow. I have a dream of unity. This poems talks about a dream that I have.

This poem describes the love I have for my lover. Everything else has an end but my love will never end.
