Watching Life Go By

Watching Life Go By, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.

a torturous
cycle of pain
we have to bear
some things
we have to share
caught helpless
in times lair
life a tamasha
a vanity fair
destiny doomed
in a snare
wounded
bruised maimed
a moment
that wont repair
the beggar
on the street
his palm
held out
money in
our wallets
but no
coins to spare
