The India I Shoot Is Not Taj Mahal

The India I Shoot Is Not Taj Mahal, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.

what i shoot
you wont find
in a travel brochure
for sure
my india
belongs to
the beggars
the hijras
other untouchables
an india
that endures
an india
a drop
of a tear
in the eye
of the poor
tattered torn
disheveled
two fucks
for haute couture
but sound solid
secure
their world
houseless
homeless
not part
of your tour
prevention
is as bad
as the cure
with your
dark glasses
sun tan lotions
you wont see
them
objects
obscure
dainty and demure
on the beaches
to satisfy
the white mans
lust they procure
prepubescent
premature
