More than an orphan, as
abandoned by his family,
Lower than a beggar, as
unwanted at anybody’s doorstep,
Poorer than a pauper, as
estranged by the society,
Weaker than a handicap, as
found repelling the donors,
And lowlier than the
untouchable, as his presence irritating,
Lives a leper, beaten with
the devastating maladies.
Coupled with old age, who
else can be that much pitiable?
