Muslim Motherhood ..Muslim Beggars of Mumbai

Muslim Motherhood ..Muslim Beggars of Mumbai, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

two young mothers
children in arms
sitting on the sidewalk
asking for alms
missing lines of
fate on their washed
out palms as the
winds blow funereal
calm ... awaiting
for hope to apply
a balm...away
from fear away
from harm
allah ho akbar
lucky charm
holistic yearnings
seeking warmth
