If Society Took Care of Its Own This World Would Be Without Beggars, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.
Hijras begging on the streets
beggars at temples falling at your feet
muslim begging women in burkhas
fate they could not cheat veiled
sorrow life incomplete society
fucks it own useless file it deletes
street urchins kissing your hand
in dust humidity and heat
fuck who really cares
where they shit or eat
to get something
out of nothing is how the
beggars they treat
little beggar girls
impregnated
before their time
sold in brothels
poetry pathos barefeet
the living dead
in eternal defeat
tears bitter and sweet
to Sarah Hill in humility and gratitude
