How Could I Tell My Two And A Half Year Old Grand Daughter He Is Not a Dog But Man, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.
dada meaning grand pa
i want him as a pet she said
as we were in the ricksha
moving ahead i told
marziya shakir
my grand daughter
he was not for sale
or for hire he was a beggar
deformed he earned his bread
but marziya began to weep
she said i want this dog
with the mans head
she began too cry
violently
her face went red
luckily from the path
of tragic faith
our ricksha had fled
the soul of humanity
dehumanized and dead
but rekindled by innocence
on my soul it spread
this is dedicated to both her uncles glenn and fred
