they come
in all shapes
weird size
with dreams
in their eyes
at bandra hill
road where
time does not fly
they try their luck
the lame and the blind
the drunk the junkie
sitting on
the pavement
morning and night
they come they go
or just disappear
the beggars in flight
muslim beggar women
in hijab with kids
searching for
the next bite
my camera has
seen them all
under the street light
their survival
their defeat
as they fight
held in a glass
bottle airtight
their pain
the morbidity
poetry pathos
disillusions
within the soul
of a blog
i highlight
moving cars
at the traffic signal
little kids lost
birthright
hijras clapping
their hands
on new years day
at the stroke
of midnight
