Beggar & the Tourist

I saw an old man lying by the side of the street starring into oblivion
What a simple existence, purposeless and futile my opinion
He saw a young man busily running around in futile pursuit
Only to fulfill what he was taught, someone's ideal to suite
I see the existence of a beggar, idle and senseless
He sees the life of a slave, brainwashed and defenseless.....
