Sometimes I Shoot Football Too..

Sometimes I Shoot Football Too.., originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.

yes its true
i dont shoot
the private parts
of insects
or mountains
in misty dew
sometimes
i shoot
football too
but i would
rather
shoot
beggar kids
in the slums
begging on
the roads
by virtue
i shoot
jesus
here
at st peters
church
the holy ghost
wants his
pictures
all anew
i would rather
shoot hijras
children
of a lesser god
who are still thrown
out
of bombay gymkhana
a social stigma
an anti social element
the hijra as taboo
yes i shoot
the streets of pain
the same as it is today
or when it was in
the days chacha nehru
nothing has changed
the pain continues
its nice rosy cheeked
children who were
always abused
he saw but
turned
his eyes
the other side
they call it
a papal excuse

time bleeding bruised
the victim and the accused
