Where Were you

You walked past me today.

I was sitting in front of the store close to where you live. I asked you for bread, but you gave me a stone. I asked you for a drink to quench my thirst, but you gave me a serpent.

Later you pass me again.

I was lying on the sidewalk in pain. I asked you for help but you laughed at me and kicked me then gave me a sword.

Again still you pass me once more i lay motionless on the street. You held up your head and looked straight ahead and passed me by.

Now the years have passed and so have you.

I see you again. You ask me What is my reward? I give you a stone i give you a serpent then i give you a sword.

I turn my back cause I see you no more.
