The begger

 ^{The Begger}

“Take what is mine! “
The begger he said’
All I need is some food and a bed
“Take what is mine! “
I don’t have any goods

Only my clothes that are rags and my shoes

“Take what is mine! “
I don’t have any time ,
I’ve lost loads of weight and i’m losing my mind,
Take what is mine!
I’ve only my soul!
You can’t have it right now!

I’ve only got one.
