Bag Ladies Don’t Beg
Their hands only out when
they are fiddling with their bags
They don’t beg
Their prides in that bag
All that’s left of a life that used to be
Being drug up and down the dirty streets
They don’t beg
Bag Ladies don’t beg
Their hands only seen when
reaching for something to eat off the streets
They don’t beg
Where is the family that used your name
One can see by the impression
there used to be a ring
They don’t beg
Bag Ladies don’t beg
What happened along the way
that makes a park bench where
a Bag Lady stay
They Don’t Beg
