if you start with
a premise
that you are going
to shoot pictures
than you are off target
a thought to pollute
hot shot photographer
the soul of humanity
you cannot loot
you got to be a poet
to shoot what i shoot
humility the essence
of your pictorial pursuit
pain on the streets
is what touches
ones roots
your pictures
have to be felt
by the soul
of the viewer
before they bear fruit
uploading sorrow
as you compute
muslim beggar women
a speck of survival
i photograph and salute
on mother days
every day
my solemn tribute
i see what i shoot
i dont change
my route
