Dead Eyes of Hope

Dead Eyes of Hope, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.

outside the mosque
eyeless she pleads
in her hand
on the scooter
her children
victims
her husbands seed
like dying withering weeds
she begs
she too has needs
yes the human heart
has gone frozen
it no more bleeds
silent scriptures
that eyes cant read
muslim woman
in a muslim world
indeed

I shot this picture and several frames at Nawab Masjid Bhendi Bazar.
one child was asleep on the floor of the scooter
