A cloistered world of the poor Muslim Man
Peace and Brotherhood part of Allahs cosmic plan
but here on Earth Muslims love killing Muslims
as fast as they can ...sectarian strife sectarian violence
we are hardly Muslims just Shias Sunnis Jamatis Wahabbis Tabbblikis
hate filled members hurting each tribal rivalry as a clan
Jehhadis destroying the world and the Word of God
Man wanting to be omnipresent Superman
The Jehhad against Ignorance Illitercay
the misery of the pooer uneducated underprivileged Muslim woman
with Fatwas of hate the Rogue Mullahs span
after two atom bombs Nagasaki and Hiroshima
from the fires rose a phoenix called Japan
but we destroy each other as Muslims
in Islamic countries from Pakistan to Sudan
we self destruct Talibanisation of our human soul
from the cauldron into the frying pan
An agony sans ecstacy the rise and fall of
the Muslim World of the Poor Man

on a pedestal
the lot of the suffering woman
remains the same
woman in a mans world is game
robbed of her treasury of innocence
a fallen woman she became
they her own children
of her loins wound
brutalize and maim
disown her
adding her to ill fame
remember her as fleeting thought
on womans day as a Mother
all in name
throw her in the dungeons
of an old womans home
when she becomes an old dame
the mound of her memories
ashes to ashes dust to dust
the worms her flesh and her soul
will reclaim
mother wife sister
a beast of burden to proclaim

Every year for last three or four years I was invited by my friend Sakib the Florist to his Sandal that begins at BMC colony Mahim, and ends at the Shrine of the Holy Saint Makhdoom Shah Baba.I have never missed the opportunity to be a part of this procession, Sakib, also participates in the events, managed by Firoze Rafaee an exponent in sword and other forms of body mutilation..
This is the cultural ethos of the Rafaees without blood, unlike those of the Shias.
The Chancawalli Sufis were ther with Handi and were upset that I had not visited the Dhuni for personal reasons that I did not tell them, but Handi guessed as much and told me my tormentor who hates Sufis being publically photographed has been banished to Ajmer Sharif..The Chancawallis sufis to did their body piercings vigorously ..
I shot over 300 pictures from 7 pm to about 9 pm and than breaking away from the procession reached the Dhuni to meet my friend Maun Baba or Barsati Baba who has taken a vow of silence for 11 years.
He was happy to see me including the others , the head of the Chancawalli Babas is Sher Ali Baba.
The Dargah was cordoned off , metal detectors, and heavy police bandobast, I walked from the Dargah to Mahim PoliceStation where a qawwali was in progress organized by Inspector Liaqat head of the Police Makhdoom Shah Baba Committee .I shot a few pictures of the performers and walked home barefeet..

My eldest son Asif Shakir has presented me a new website to house all my poems , so as not to get into anymore head on conflicts with Flickr Support or members of my earlier poetry web site..
However I have deleted all those poems on my own..no use giving importance to bad rubbish and racist too.

Event of Ghadir Khumm


The following is a description of the historic event of Ghadir Khumm. Click on the book icons below to see the detailed references backing up each key element of this event. The separation into contexts enables one to see how well each component of the event is attested in the sources.

For example, to see how many Sunni sources record the sentence uttered by the Prophet [s] to appoint Imam 'Ali [a] - man kuntu mawlahu fa `Aliyyun mawlahu - click here: .
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Farewell Pilgrimage
Ten years after the migration (hijrah), the Messenger of Allah [peace and blessings be upon him and his Progeny] ordered to his close followers to call all the people in different places to join him in his last pilgrimage. On this pilgrimage he taught them how to perform the pilgrimage in a correct and unified form.

This was first time that the Muslims with this magnitude gathered in one place in the presence of their leader, the Messenger of Allah [s]. On his way to Makkah, more than seventy thousand people followed Prophet [s]. On the fourth day of Dhu'l-Hijjah more than one hundred thousand Muslims had entered Makkah.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Date
The date of this event was the 18th of Dhu'l-Hijjah of the year 10 AH (10 March 632 CE).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Location
After completing his last pilgrimage (Hajjatul-Wada'), Prophet [s] was leaving Makkah toward Madinah, where he and the crowd of people reached a place called Ghadir Khumm (which is close to today's al-Juhfah). It was a place where people from different provinces used to greet each other before taking different routes for their homes.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Revelation of Qur'anic Verse 5:67
In this place, the following verse of the Qur'an was revealed:

"O Apostle! Deliver what has been sent down to you from your Lord; and if you don't do it, you have not delivered His message (at all); and Allah will protect you from the people ..." (Qur'an 5:67)
The last sentence in the above verse indicates that the Prophet [s] was mindful of the reaction of his people in delivering that message but Allah informs him not to worry, for He will protect His Messenger from people.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Sermon
Upon receiving the verse, the Prophet [s] stopped on that place (the pond of Khumm) which was extremely hot. Then he sent for all people who have been ahead in the way, to come back and waited until all pilgrims who fell behind, arrived and gathered. He ordered Salman [r] to use rocks and camel toolings to make a pulpit (minbar) so he could make his announcement. It was around noon time in the first of the Fall, and due to the extreme heat in that valley, people were wrapping their robes around their feet and legs, and were sitting around the pulpit, on the hot rocks.

On this day the Messenger of Allah [s] spent approximately five hours in this place; three hours of which he was on the pulpit. He recited nearly one hundred verses from The Glorious Quran, and for seventy three times reminded and warned people of their deeds and future. Then he gave them a long speech.

The following is a part of his speech which has been widely narrated by the Sunni traditionists:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tradition of the Two Weighty Things (thaqalayn)

The Messenger of Allah [s] declared:

"It seems the time approached when I shall be called away (by Allah) and I shall answer that call. I am leaving for you two precious things and if you adhere to them both, you will never go astray after me. They are the Book of Allah and my Progeny, that is my Ahlul Bayt. The two shall never separate from each other until they come to me by the Pool (of Paradise)."

[See also: Hadith al-Thaqalayn: A Study of its tawatur]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Acknowledgement of Authority
Then the Messenger of Allah continued:

"Do I not have more right over the believers than what they have over themselves?"
People cried and answered:

"Yes, O' Messenger of God."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Text (nass) of the Designation
Then followed the key sentence denoting the clear designation of 'Ali as the leader of the Muslim ummah. The Prophet [s] held up the hand of 'Ali and said:

"For whoever I am his Leader (mawla), 'Ali is his Leader (mawla)."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[In some narrations the word used was wali rather than mawla - with the same implication]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Prophet [s] continued:

"O' God, love those who love him, and be hostile to those who are hostile to him."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These were the key parts of the speech of the Prophet [s]. There are also more detailed versions of this sermon which are recorded by many Sunni authorities.
'Coronation' of Imam 'Ali [a]
[under development]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Revelation of Qur'anic Verse 5:3
Immediately after the Prophet [s] finished his speech, the following verse of the Qur'an was revealed:

"Today I have perfected your religion and completed my favour upon you, and I was satisfied that Islam be your religion." (Qur'an 5:3)

The above verse clearly indicates that Islam without clearing up matter of leadership after Prophet [s] was not complete, and completion of religion was due to announcement of the Prophet's immediate successor.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hassan b. Thabit's poetry
Immediately after the Prophet's speech, Hassan b. Thabit, the Companion and poet of the Messenger of Allah [s], asked for his permission to compose a few verses of poetry about Imam 'Ali [a] for the audience. The Prophet [s] said: "Say with the blessings of Allah". Hassan stood up and said: "O' people of Quraysh. I follow with my words what preceded and witnessed by the Messenger of Allah [s]. He then composed the following verses at the scene:

He calls them, (on) the day of Ghadir, their Prophet
In Khumm so hear (and heed) the Messenger's call,
He said: "Who is your guide and leader? (mawlakum wa waliyyukum)"
They said, and there was no apparent blindness (clearly):
"Your God, our guide, and you are our leader
And you won't find from among us, in this, any disobedient,"
He said to him: "Stand up O' Ali, for I am
pleased to announce you Imam and guide after me (min ba'di imam(an) wa hadiy(an)),
So whomever I was his leader (mawla), then this is his leader (mawla)
So be to him supporters in truth and followers,"
There he prayed: "Allah! Be a friend and guide to his follower
And be, to the one who is Ali's enemy, an enemy"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oath of Allegiance
After his speech, the Messenger of Allah [s] asked everybody to give the oath of allegiance to 'Ali [a] and congratulate him. Among those who did so was 'Umar b. al-Khattab, who said:
"Well done Ibn Abi Talib! Today you became the Leader (mawla) of all believing men and women."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Number of Companions in Ghadir Khumm
Allah ordered His Prophet [s] to inform the people of this designation at a time of crowded populous so that all could become the narrators of the tradition, while they exceeded a hundred thousand.
Narrated by Zayd b. Arqam: Abu al-Tufayl said: "I heard it from the Messenger of Allah [s], and there was no one (there) except that he saw him with his eyes and heard him with his ears."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Revelation of Qur'anic Verse 70:1-3
Some Sunni commentators further report that the first three verses of the chapter of al-Ma'arij (70:1-3) were revealed when a dispute arose after the Prophet [s] reached Madinah. It is recorded that:
On the day of Ghadir the Messenger of Allah summoned the people toward 'Ali and said: "Ali is the mawla of whom I am mawla." The news spread quickly all over urban and rural areas. When Harith Ibn Nu'man al-Fahri (or Nadhr Ibn Harith according to another tradition) came to know of it, he rode his camel and came to Madinah and went to the Messenger of Allah [s] and said to him: "You commanded us to testify that there is no deity but Allah and that you are the Messenger of Allah. We obeyed you. You ordered us to perform the prayers five times a day and we obeyed. You ordered us to observe fasts during the month of Ramadhan and we obeyed. Then you commanded us to offer pilgrimage to Makkah and we obeyed. But you are not satisfied with all this and you raised your cousin by your hand and imposed him upon us as our master by saying `Ali is the mawla of whom I am mawla.' Is this imposition from Allah or from you?"

The Prophet [s] said : "By Allah who is the only deity! This is from Allah, the Mighty and the Glorious."

On hearing this Harith turned back and proceeded towards his she-camel saying: "O Allah! If what Muhammad said is correct then fling on us a stone from the sky and subject us to severe pain and torture." He had not reached his she-camel when Allah, who is above all defects, flung at him a stone which struck him on his head, penetrated his body and passed out through his lower body and left him dead. It was on this occasion that Allah, the exalted, caused to descend the following verses:

"A questioner questioned about the punishment to fall. For the disbelievers there is nothing to avert it, from Allah the Lord of the Ascent." (70:1-3)

of a world of Ahle Bait hidden in the slivers of a lttle childs eye
silence a peak of eloquence that money cant buy
or rob or steal or get it on the sly
a fathers love for his daughter that you espy
is a sobless tear thanking God the maker in reply
for making Marziya in the image of her mother
the blood sinews of her fathers spirtuality
that he did apply from kazmain in lucknow
to a paradise in mumbai
time held in her tiny fist before it flys by
Marziyas might hits the bulls eye .

The Urus celebration of the Sufi Saint Makdoom Shah Baba began on Dec24 .
Normally I never missed this event, walking bare feet from Bandra to Mahim to sit among the Chancawalli Sufis or Rafaees body piercers , as they sit smoke chillum
at the Dhuni or Holy Fire.
This year I decided to stay away from the Rafaee events and the Dhuni because of personal reasons.On Friday I will go and shoot Saqib the Florist friends Sandal , which I shoot every year , the body piercing performed by Firoze Rafaee under the patronage of my friend Fahad Pathan up and coming political youth leader...
I spoke to Saquib, and he was wondering why I was not seen at the Dhuni.Actually I have shot so many meaningless pictures , mostly portraits and the chillum smoking, some of the Bawas dont take kindly to the picture taking.
So my pictorial quest is on a low key, mostly the Turner Road Hijdas, the beggar kids are part of my quintessential street photography.
I was hoping Mr Glenn Losack MD from America , would come down to shoot the body piercing events but he has postponed his India trip.
The birth of my photogenic grand daughter Marziya , has been a a blessing in disguise , shooting her almost a few frames every day soothes my soul.
She is the finest model, she gives me rare gems of her expressions , and she is demanding too , she is a month old so I cant do much in terms of creativity but I manage .
Marziya is a photographers Muse , and inspiration, she is a sight to be seen when the lady masseur gives her a massage and her bath , all amazing episodes of her daily regimen.One picture I do wish to take of hers is in a tiny Hijab..just her eyes...
She has been part of our luck, and she got ha cradle from Shivani my sister in law wife of brother Firdaus.. I got her a pram from Little Kangaroos , a childs shop that belongs to my friends Alok and Arun Lalwani..a unique shop and must a visit for toddlers and new borns..

using religion as a weapon
their own kind without impunity

man destroying man

they killed on the cross
now by killing

unpaid dues
suicide bombers
misplaced martyrdom
prosleytizing the human soul
with any available excuse
Justice as a precondition

The only solution

man who born helpless poor
wants to live in peace and peaceful dignity

like a whore in the heart and soul of poetry
the warmongers of poetic hate
from a racist poety site to a
photography site relentlessly
pursuing me
blocking my right of creative expression
my freedom of poetic speech
harbingers of hate and animosity.
even those who live in an English land

thinly disguisesd as Indian haters
insecure in their pompous creativity

Shah Ast Hussain - We Curse Yazid
Originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1

Hussain the beloved grandson of the Holy Prophet
with whom Allah the Most Omnipotent was pleased
Hussain the name of Humanity beyond caste color or creed
the Bayt of the Holy Prophet he did not conceed
gave his head not his hand to a Monster called Yazid
who born of an illegitimate serpent seed
well known for destroying Islam by his dastardly deeds
every act of his against Allah, Islam humanity woman hood indeed
the laws of civility the human values he and his warriors did not heed
yes a black chapter in Islamic history words that bleed
the accursed Ummayad Caliphate leader Yazid
an insult to the human breed
on the flesh of carrion he did feed
his so called followers of yazidiyat
in todays world we do not need
who give reverence to Yazid
the Ummah at spirtual circus to mislead
they should be crushed God Speed
Hussain a single man army 72 warriors in the lead
against the mammoth forces of accursed yazid..
even afer death and defeat did suceed
Hussain gave up his life not for political supremacy
that he did not need
Hussain our beloved Shaheed
political gains and worldly control of Islamic fortune
thirst of Yazid his wantoness depravity and his ungodly greed
Hussain for his live or his his familys life never did plead
Karbala that became the killing field
it was the fruits of Hussainiyat from the blood of the Martyrs
it did yield
Hussain Allahs most protected Shield
Astride on Zuljana the Indomitable Steed
living words of Nade Ali on him decreed
fearless along with Abbas Ali Akbar Kassim
he did proceed
Ali Asghar the little Mujahid
all battling the evil forces
who prayed the namaz
and the Holy Koran did read
now dont ask me why the Shias
from the major community did secede

“Shah ast Husain,
Badshah ast Husain,
Sardaad na daad dast dar dastey Yazid,
Haqqa ke bana-aey La ilah ast Husain.

” Translation : “Ruler is Husain,
Emperor is Husain,
Religion is Husain,
shield of religion i.e. Islam is Husain,
Gave his head (for Islam) but not his hand to Yazid,
To maintain the truth no one but is Husain.”

broken bodies of human pain they bare
a god given tragedy they have no money to repair
clapping their androgynous hands in the air
transgenders are human like me and you
a convulted contorted emotional erosion
personal in nature who cares
perhaps Jesus Christ lying in his crib
looks at them than at the clergy
the Rock of St Peter
a castrated silence
chaotic spirtual commotion
that as humans we share
some cry they have no shoes
some cry they have no feet
who stand on stilts of prosthetics
without the need of footwear

Invitation to a Racist Wedding






Google Search For Poem...

a new world of poetry is possible




The racist kilt
Standing head above shoulders
On a stilt manic self guilt
Destroying the house of a poetic God
That took years and years to built
Flowers different colors ravaged
Hate filled
Blood splattered spilt
As they die and wilt
Collective white racism
With a sword in the rectum
Of a colored man
Up to the hilt
Brown posterior a patched parched quilt
A new world of poetry is possible
If with all colored hands of artisans it is rebuilt
With love harmony peace humanity as bricks
Inbuilt towards anarchy of the races no tilt

miles and miles to go
before his destiny he can tame

no parking a board that shuns his dreamy claim
man his hopes his survival his tribulations all aflame
a human spider caught in the web of a frame

With the support of friends and with
A different set of personas and props
Pump their own ratings
With a perfect 10 to harvest
a good crop
As to sell their hackneyed
Poetically pedestrian ware
They cannot find another shop
With the help of their fictitious persona
Commenting on their own poems
Among the Top 500 mega flops
The only thing good about the poems
Is the omnipresent full stops..
Hate filled unmarried
Menopausal slithering snakiest slops
On the top of the tops
Making salubrious love to uneatable pork chops

Happy Bakra Idd



Tomorrow is Bakra Idd
For once let’s forget
We are Sunnis and Shias
Bow our head to the Glory of Allah
For Universal Peace and Brotherhood plead
The stopping of Muslims killing Muslims
A wanton Allah hurting deed
Let’s clear our hearts of sectarian difference
Share each others sorrow pain happiness
Without unnecessary bloodshed and worldly greed
Lets be bound to Allah his fragrance in the Koran
His Holy Messenger and his Hadith
Round the neck of Hate and Ignorance
Lets collectively put a wreath
The Jehad to end Ignorance
End mayhem that is destroying the planet
Our unborn children our mothers sisters fathers and brothers
Lets protect our human breed
Not only Muslims but all caste color and creed
The Voice of Sanity and Reason heed
Its better to live a single day as Hussain than to live a lifetime as Yazeed

There is racism in poetry land
Perfectly laid out preplanned
If you bring it to the web site managements notice
They clip your wings and have you banned
And they accuse you as the aggressor
From the cooking pan of bigotry into
The fires of hate you land
Cornered from all sides
Into the mouth of a quicksand
White racism is a hard enemy to beat
If you are black and brown and belong
To a no mans land
Love for poetry and racism in poetry
Go hand in hand
Even those who love music
On your posterior with or without a kilt
Will play the band
Yes it’s a black face of intelligence
They can’t stand
Your rise on the wings of poesy
They harbor envy
With the witches of Armageddon
They will finish you off
With their racist magical wand
Go refresh read the Fountainhead
By Ayn Rand
Concerned write in your own language
Not reprimanding you for your inadequacy
But a simple racist command
Banished from poem hunter the Promised Land
No trial guilty till you are proven innocent
No justice no witness stand
Lopsided law of poetry land
Handcuffs of shame cutting into your brown skin
You are a criminal a tag
Attached to your bleeding wrist band
Your enemies poets with lose bowels
And anemic prostate gland
Some with bleeding rectums piles
Deteriorating endocrine gland
Arthritis carcinoma and pigeon chests
That pretentiously ape mammary glands
A Louisiana lynching lass egotist fires
Of furious racist hate that she fanned
a yeti strangled
Without a single line of poetry she crashed land
Working as farmers tilling poetry
in uncultivated wordless arid lands
Racist coterie that searchlight
and other anti-racist websites must help disband
collectively take a very firm stand
On the passing away of the Racist poets call the Highland Military band
Racism is a cancerous disease eating the soul of humanity
Must be controlled curtailled not allowed to expand

Groping Santa Claus


Groping Santa Claus

A woman was charged with sexual assault after allegedly groping Santa Claus at a Connecticut mall, Tuesday, Dec. 18, 2007. The mall Santa told police the woman had touched him inappropriately while sitting on his lap.

(CBS/AP) A woman was charged with sexual assault after allegedly groping Santa Claus at a shopping mall.

Sandrama Lamy, 33, faces fourth-degree sexual assault and breach of peace charges.

www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/12/18/national/main3628471.s...

Santas have a very tough time
women groping for their family jewels
squeezing them like sweet lime
now this Santa was a gay man
the thought was disgusting
and not sublime
he would prefer making
little cheeky buttocked
children sit on his heaving lap
and teach them nursery rhyme
santarchy and some
pedophiliac grime

Merry Xmas and Happy New Year

Santa comes year after year

why the human cheek

nothing has changed

people living in poverty
racist environment
agonizing fear
alabaster faces
that mock and leer
poetic smiles
behind evil veneer
in cyberspace
today even the good shepherd
takes his lambs to slaughter
brings no cheer
on black faces
cow dung they smear
they kick you in the front
they kick your posterior
paying tribute
to the birth of Christ
life and resurrection
the end is near
the poor colored man pays for
the sins of the killers of the Messiah
proselytize him to the Lord endear
covert him make him a Christian
Merry Xmas Yule time
Happy New Year

I give you a sample of the vitriolic racist poems written about me, and Mr Trade Martin eminent American Poet has written to the Management of Poem Hunter…

Please help or giving me a link where I can place and seek redressal for my grievance..12/19/07 Attention: Emily at PoemHunter. (URGENT)

Dear Emily, I’ve also seen others, but these kinds of ugly writings

should be totally banned, along with the writers of these vile

postings. They are NOT GOOD for your site.

FIROZE SHAKIR EATS COW SHIT

It is sad for a lonley man..
who has no future
no life
no plan

For him to eat nasty poop
Thats all he can eat for thats all he has to scoop
He has no teeth with mangled hair
One eye to see out of and one leg to spare

He spreads diseases like Gonnerea
he also has Koro it is a psychiatric illness most common in South and East Asia whose primary symptom is an overwhelming fear that the penis is being slowly sucked into the body, resulting in death.
He is crazy
He talks about people…because he really admires them
he also admires being rammed up the ass by a rino
his legs start shaking by overjoyment…and he tiny penis may raise of a milimeter of an inch..and for him thats big

Amberlee Spurling

firoze shakir sucks gay american penis

firoze shakir sucks penis
so one day in india after fucking his god cow
he came to realize that he is gay now
so he flew to america to find a gay man
firoze shakir likes the cum from the gay man

Thank you Sir

This is nothing but hate for my country, she has written such vile stuff on India , that I took up cudgels against her she has denigrated the Holy Cow , she has called us Indians stupid, now she is getting back to me as she knows I cant attack her having been banned from Poem Hunter…
I am now convinced that Poem Hunter supports Racism completely to the hilt..
An Indian man when he attacks people who provoke him racially with offensive abusive language , instead of giving him a warning is thrown out from a site that promotes Racism, neo nazism..
I have reported this to a few anti racist sites..
I have no problem, no regret being adversely punished by Poem Hunter, but justice should be equal to all irrespective of caste color or creed…

with child
she has the bitter
sweet kernel
of life to taste
an aborted childhood
like a moving vehicle
on lifes running traffic
at some other signal

Hijdas Children of a Lesser God poem


Hijdas Children of a Lesser God poem
Originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1

A new lot of Hijdas have taken over the Turner Road Traffic Signal, I met
them yesterday while going to work, Laxmi the Beggar Hijda who kept
this signal running with her kind face has stopped coming here , and I guess
its their head or Guru who controls and tells them where they beg..
The Turner Road Signal is a prestigious begging point, and the arterial road leads to four distinct points of Bandra..
However the Turner Road beggar kids give the Hijdas a tough time moving in for the kill as the kids really are faster on their feet, semi naked and the little tots completely naked.
Their mothers play cards across the road, food is leftovers from the nearby Stomach restaurant. The Eunuchs eat from the street stalls mostly the Bombay staple food called
the Batata Wada ..which is potato pancake in bread and green chutney…

a new fresh crop a new lot of Hijdas
beg at the Turner Road Traffic Signal now
morning to evening they move from one car to another
a field of no returns
tired as they plough
of the sweat of their brow
to the passengers in the cars
they smile as they kowtow
the beggar kids plunge headlong
the eunuch competition
wont allow
a hopeless fruit of misery
that almost bends the bough
here on the streets of despair
the children of a lesser God
broken puppets on a string
have less human respect
than the Holy Cow

'Save Ram Sethu' is an international campaign jointly promoted by a growing number of international organizations to oppose the destruction of Ram Sethu, also known as Adam's Bridge. The Sethu Samudram Shipping Canal Project undertaken by the Indian Government will destroy this bridge.

Latest Ram Sethu News

International groups have jointly launched the Save Ram Sethu campaign against the continuing destruction of a symbol of the Hindu faith in the narrow sea between India and Sri Lanka. Ram Sethu ( called Adam's Bridge by the British ) which is seen as one of Hinduism's holiest sites, is an ancient chain of shoals that once linked India's southern areas to Sri Lanka's northwest. It is being destroyed by the Sethu Samudram Shipping Canal Project (SCCP) to create a navigable waterway in the narrow sea dividing the two countries. [more]

I recieved the following message from Flickr Support I have the highest regard for their
decision and abide by it without any regrets, i may be deleted as a picture here at Flickr but Truth is already easily available on the Internet and can never be choked.
I took up photo blogging to share my world of pictures not to proselytize my religion or my beliefs on others..
I also took up photo blogging as a weapon against Racism, and I need not tell you that it is very powerful and has the greatest strength backed by a collective society of hate minded people..My case in all its humility, a fightthat was at Poem Hunter maded its way to Flickr.
People who treated me racially at Poem Hunter hacked my accounts , had me banned , now moved against me at Flickr, that they were Flick members I never knew, but they collectively placed blocks on me, without me ever visting their photo stream.
I still dont know their identities ,but yes racism , specially White Racism exists and is not a figment of my poetic mind proves it completely in my case.
I am a blogger in transit I will be judged by my actions and my posts will tell you that against my aggressors I habe nothing but words as my defence.
I am a poet of no consequence yet my rise at the top of the spire of poetic fame bought me more brick bats and racist punishment..

My reply sent to them by Yahoo Mail


From: "firoze shakir"
Subject: CASE 463563
To: case463563@support.flickr.com
Firstly I have had no problem with any Flickr member I reietrate, the few months that I have built my reputation painstakingly on Flickr, all my poems were replies to attack I recieved at the hands of a few racist members of Poem Hunter site who may be members of Flickr site..
I have never visited any members from my Flickr site to their site..
I have taken much racial abuse and if you keep alluding that I threaten intimidate Flickr members I feel you use these words harshly against me..Even now as I write this everyday at the Poem Hunter I am being thrashed poems written denigerating my character .
I think if people from this group keep blocking me and you take their version to admonish me than I too will have no alternative but to move out from Flickr..a move that would hurt me too as I have more than 14000 pictures posted here of a photo jornalistic nature.. showing a human world of pain and rituals and Hinduism which is my cultural inheritance.
I have from the day I joined Flickr leaving aside theThink Flickr Think poems or Bonk Flickr poem never deliberately maligned the management or Flickr members..I have nothing in my defence I have fought my opponents through my Blogs ...single handedly.
All my poems talk of Poem Hunter racist treatment meted out to me..but I have realised that Racism in a strange way makes the victim the aggressor..
If you unnecessarily knowing what I have been fighting for keep reminding me
"Specifically, you must
not abuse, harass, threaten, impersonate or intimidate
other Flickr members:"
Than it shocks me, and hurts me even the kilt picture as a poem was written against a Poemhunter member has racially continued to trouble me , and still does from the forum that is read by many bloggers and poets.I never in 50 years expected a member of a Scotts race to behave in such a degrading manner..

Tell me by posting any thing to hurt someone what could I gain..
I had to show my pain and my wounds..
If this does not convince you I have nothing to say.I thank you all the same.Merry Xmas
Firoze Shakir.

I will be posting this dialogue as a blog

no not related to Mahmoud Maksoud or Masood who sell pet food
Closely related to Firoze Shakir with whom the racists had a feud
They sent him packing leaving behind his poems in the nude
In his place to keep Poem Hunter poets entertained with not so funny stories
He has sent Santa Banta brother Edwin Drood
a rascal Indian storyteller very very shrewd “the right step” “dirty pictures” “fastest”as much as he could exclude
“Correct or wrong” poem hunter forum racist asses skewed in foul mood
venomous vituperative vapors imbued a war of words ensued
Funny funny stories to get you screwed served piping hot as racist food
Danny the pisser his little pecker cubically pubically unviewed
To block a brown ass at Flickr with his racist friends he connived and pursued
Louisiana lynching Lass and Betty Strangler he did include
A thought in all its xenophobicness as an attack on freedom of speech
And poetic creativity on love poetry hate racism did intrude
Hogging the limelight the snout of a swine that did obtrude
God is always with the righteous when he is in good mood what say you dude
Edwin Drood the Top 500 poet at Poem hunter I conclude

of silence the flowers
alone and afraid
such is racism
in a mans world
a weapon that
one man uses against
another man to degrade
the color of the skin
a primal concern
dividing humanity
in a wantonly trade
where ever you run
from this cancerous disease
there is no escapade

When a woman is 58
Unmarried living all by herself
Just a computer screen as mate
Than she for the other sex
Has no feelings just
Viciousness rabidity
Full of Hate
Unbalanced mental state
Menopausal corrosion
Of human values
Yes it’s been too late
She now for man and men
Has slaughterhouse distaste
Butchering him for
A very long wait
Her sexuality eaten
Up by a menstrual morbidity
Scrawls on her libidinous slate
The few crumbs of her
Corrosive virginity rusty
Beneath the cosmetic plate
Unwanted she will
Carry it to her grave
Worms’s insects
Gnawing away at her
Bones putrid flesh
Such shall be
Her hateful fate
Racism is not just about color
It is about attitude
Your bigoted views
Your insular upbringing
That like a trap lies
In wait to incarcerate
A colored man
Because he disagrees
With you or
Your white poetic debate
How many blocks will
You put on him
To choke his voice
His freedom of speech
Louisiana’s Lynching Maid
A Jena Tree that died
Because it had a canopy leaves
But could not give shade
You and your kind
An insult to God
God’s creativity
You who made Man eat the Fruit
That God forbade
A Snake Goddess who
Copulated with the serpent
Unafraid
Poetic Justice
A satanic silence
A satanic diatribe
That will here on Earth
In a retributive action will be repaid

As we get old and gay
And prance in the ude
Looking far from ude
As today may say

He earned everything he got...just too bad it wasn't harsh enough to fit the crimes he committed against good people....well, not harsh enough.....YET

Uday Howlin,

As President 'Tricky Dick' Nixon once said;
'You won't have me to kick around anymore'
So it is with Firoze...

Peace,
Ray

Ude is an excellent word.

Actually - despite the hurling of crap I found Firoze personable and charming. Also easily offended and easily offensive. Never to me however and I take people as I find them. o me. Whilst being aware of what they may say about others. As do you.... F. t x

Peace Love and Humanity


Peace Love and Humanity

almighty god gifted us life
to live in love and peace
we returned gods favor
with hate for each other
and war as our release
god made us in colors
to live in love and peace
we chose the color white
to bulldoze blacks browns
by playing racial police
racial profiling
a cancerous disease
gods creation
we destroy and fleece
bringing good values
down to its knees
with our unholy acts
as worldly caprice
we are suicide bombers
a ticking bomb
on the increase
our leaders war mongering politicians
rogue mullahs and corrupt priests
we have to give global peace a chance
for the unborn of our race
yes hate must cease
peace now ..
and forever
a saddened god to appease
