Will the Gaothans Change After Elections?

Will the Gaothans Change After Elections?, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

once the heritage of
east indian pride
cottage bungalows
by crooked builders
politicians
hand in glove
taken for a ride
the silence
of the church
as the poor man cried
shunted to
uttan naigaum
distant suburbs
reside
leaving bandra
a split open wide
justice delayed
justice denied
towers of babel
over the corpse
of the gaothan
even god
left their side


“Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and give to God what is God’s.”
said the white cassock man his spiritual guide ...betrayed by a belief
the east indian died..
