Shooting Beggars Is Shooting Hope And God

Shooting Beggars Is Shooting Hope And God, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

beggars
are the only
chosen people
who invoke god
every second
sitting in a corner
round the bend
with the walls
behind them
they synchronize
align blend
gods covenant
of peace humility
they tend...
reciting his name
a million time
vacuously
they spend
with each coin
you throw at them
a signal to god
make your
pain sufferings
less than theirs
they send ..
yes i shoot beggars
broken fences
that wont ever heal
or ever mend..
lost illusions
doomed delusions
pretending to
be contend
beggars have
no enemies
or friends ,,
their funeral
only barking dogs
of death attend
their umarked grave
near the garbage dump
emptiness portend


from a beggar poet
of mumbai..
happy weekend
