the cobbler has no time to go to see the elephants and parks in lucknow, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.
thank
you madamji
for the parks
the elephants
statues that
you made
for us
says he
the cobbler
of lucknow
cheated
for his votes
enslaved
no more free
an alien
untouchable
in his own
country
what he
gets for
his services
is worse than
charity
ungraciously
called
a chamar
a mochi
