The pauper’s bread is his philosophy <br />The affluent’s philosophy is bread <br />Though the pauper hasn’t a bread too many <br />His dog is always well fed! <br /> <br />The joy of sharing he knows best <br />His bread he cuts into two <br />The pauper the vermin the nagging pest <br />At heart is the most well-to-do! <br /> <br />He knows the joy of togetherness <br />To divide from his scrap of bread <br />The pauper a slur on the human race <br />Sees his dog doesn’t remain unfed! <br /> <br />He knows he can’t do without this help <br />He is too alone on this ride <br />The pauper knows better than to live with self <br />Loves his dog on his side!<br /><br />Pradip Chattopadhyay<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/who-is-the-pauper/
