The Beggar Poet



reborn
in cyberspace
as a street
photographer
imprints
on the soul
of mumbai
you cant
easily erase
the homeless
man drenched
in the rains
with insensitive
godliness face
to face ..
first meal
of the day
he gives
grace
for the next
meal another
chase ..
for the sins
of his forefathers
his chldren pay
begging at
mahim church
shivering at
the trafficsignal
on novena day
from their
fucked up
sucked up life
cosmic fate
has blocked
the suns rays
within the church
heads bowed
in prayers ..
a new candle
of hope lights
the way
a building
weeps not
far away
mercilessly
bought down
like a pack
of card
in deathly
embrace
i only shoot
what i was
destined
to shoot
in time
in space
beckoned
to places
by the
hand of god
even to places
where god
doesn't stay
