These Are The Hijras I Love To Shoot, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.

over ripe
pulpy
fleshy fruit
these are the hijras
i love to shoot
they are not sexy
they are not pretty
they are not cute
they are the hope
of humanity
at grassroots
they are the hijras
the cops
the local goonda
loots
fucking them
free hammering
them homophobic
brutes
the hijra is human
beneath his
birthday suit
from one
corner of pain
to another corner
of despair
he commutes
hijra poetry
part of my
creative angst
my pictorial
pursuit
these are the hijras
i salute
