Tramp

Trampling the roadside tiny colourful flowers

The ignorant tramp moves on in search of food

In garbage bins, in plastic cups remains of coffee he licks

He is hungry.. the half-eaten hamburger

His hawk eyes dart , he flies- snatches the food

He doesn't have the mind to appreciate flowers

Whats the use ogling at prettiness - for me its no good !!

A hungry man has no eyes for beauty or the time even to think about them. Any one differs ?
