you can see them in the steep roads while climbing Mount mayon..

you can see them while at Kennon Road or at Marcos Highway during a trip to Baguio..

you can see them at Quirino Highway or some long curving roads at Quezon Province while traveling to Manila..

im talking about the same scene you can see on crossing near Shangrila Mall in Shaw Boulevard..

you can see them near churches or big establishments where there are lots of people passin by..

its not the pavement or the plants or the surroundings im talking about..

they are the ones shaking boxes or tin cans for their living..

they seem to be empty, frail, unconscious, innocent,..innocent children running, shouting, begging..begging for some penny for food or food for strength to gather more pennies the next day..

begging..are they not gettin tired of their everyday routine of bringing up their cans, showing their innocent looks, making people feel how desperate they are to have something to put into their mouths.?

for me..they look not tired..or maybe they're tired or fed up already but they still have that priceless smiles on their faces when someone had the heart to give them some leftovers or some worthless pennies given to them as change..

they are not tired even if they are just gettin less than some of what i have..

yet me who gets most of what they don't have is on the edge of giving up everything even my sanity because of some petty failures life is giving me..

i need not beg for love because my family, friends and God has already provided me more than what i'm asking for..

i need not beg for intelligence coz i believe that what i have now is enough for me to understand things and i believe that wisdom forms and matures while we live ..

i need not beg for talent coz i'm endowed with useful stuff i can share to others..

i need not beg for romantic love coz life is giving me more than much to choose from and i think i've chosen the best for the moment..for the moment that i want to turn into a lifetime..

i need not to shake a tin can or a box for some penny coz my family and relatives gets us through our every need..

im not empty, frail, unconscious, innocent..
im not running, shouting, begging..begging for some penny for food or food for strength to gather more pennies the next day..

i need not..

i don't need..

i don't need to do these things yet why am i so tired of everything.?

i don't need..yet i wish i had to beg for some coz maybe wishin or begging for some shows the real essense of wanting or needing something..

but..why do i have to beg or wish for something i musn't wish or beg for coz it's just there and in one way or another always there.?

why this.?

why not talent.?

why not intelligence.?

why not money.?

why not the world.?

why not love.?

why life.?
