Portrait of a Street Poet

Portrait of a Street Poet, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.

the street where pain
blossoms in the wild
a mothers dying womb
crying for her child
a world of mirages
where souls are
beguiled
a poet shooting
fleeting pain
with his grand child
pain on the streets
like garbage
on the seething
soul of humanity
shit like stockpiled
the streets where
innocent buds
in bloom are
doomed defiled
hijras racially profiled
poems within pictures
pictures as poems
erratically compiled
she looked back
lady luck
surrealistically
smiled
shadows
embedded
in sorrow
a pain
self styled
rhythmic verses
the camera's
ill begotten
brain child
a poet
exiled
