Of povety and privacy

He begs
from beggars

beggers who live in spacious homes,
wearing robs of ridiculous price
traveling in cars worth "1000 dead men"

from people who are bankrupt, morally,
from people who are bankrupt, spiritually,

and we,
the "epitom of solace and prosperity"

click our way into their lives
while they are asleep,
finger pointing to the sky

who needs permission to "expose" poverty?
who says poor people have privacy?
