being a muslim beggar is not the easiest cross to carry, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.
at a very tender age
to a lazy lout good for nothing
she was married year after
his child she carried
a new mouth to feed
than one day he
got tired uttered
talak talak talak
she wept she cried
but such was his greed
he threw her out
her pleas he would
not heed her dumb
parents thought
it was her fault
with her good for nothing
ex husband they agreeed
he will get a new wife
to embed his libidinous seed
like a sacrificial goat
the musim beggar woman
celebrates bakra eid
cursing her fate
her good for nothing
husband abdul wahid
