The Fucked Fate of The Beggar Hijras of Mumbai

The Fucked Fate of The Beggar Hijras of Mumbai, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

This is what I shoot
through my angst
the hijras angst
i loot the hijra
ethos pain
covered
in car smoke
gaseous soot
clapping her hands
an androgynous
moment of despair
through the loins
of remorse bears fruit
shooting hijra
is shooting
man
gods greatest
creation
testicular fortitude
he shuns away
his masculinity
to be a woman
in a ladies suit
to be fucked by fate
disguised as another man
prowling on his route
the beggar hijras of mumbai
a community i salute
while society watches them
dumbfounded and mute
they are shunned exploited
raped sodomized
a fucked system in cahoots
trampled under a boot
