many a times
the bigot
an unforgiving muslim
will boast that 'beneath the
hijab it is a beggar hindu woman
who makes the most a street
opportunity she hosts
but if you read the body
language of pain
the lingering loss
you will note
the beggar womans
life is much cheaper
than the sacrificial
bakra idd goat
the expensive dumba
sometimes a camel
or the exotic long
haired chinese goat
a fortune to appease god
while womanhood
begging children
on the streets afloat
a memory
butcher time smote
a poem my camera
captured pain
overwrought
a silence
a searing
scream
i report
