Sometimes I Shoot Flowers Too

Sometimes I Shoot Flowers Too, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

flowers that
kiss the feet of mankind
flowers that all Hindu
gods goddesses
round their necks find
flowers entwined
cleanses the human soul
the spiritual mind
flowers that will soon die
but on a hope of eternity
enshrined

fragrance beauty
as a poem defined
they also see read it
who are born
broken hearted and blind


as an after thought
alas no more flowers
only currency notes
as garlands
on political necks find
with Rs 1000 notes
totaling 5 crores
artistically beautifully
designed
a maya jal
to spellbind
politics that
kisses you from
the front stabs
you from behind
