I Shoot The Last Gasping Breath Of Life

I Shoot The Last Gasping Breath Of Life, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

This is dedicated to a Flickr friend for her kind words it touched the humility of my photographic soul ..her words ..

I just love your photos, they are so often the highlight of my day! Including the dead and dying and decrepit and begging,
it is like a window into the real world from the privileged North American life that people lead here. Most people can't believe how the rest of the world lives. You are a constant reminder of what is really going on!!
If people say they don't like them, it is because they want to be ostriches and hide their heads and pretend that everyone is rich and prosperous, without realizing that their wealth and that of their nations is stolen from the third world nations pockets.


who is he
i dont know
but yes he
is muslim old
man of uttar
pradesh
north indian
lying at
the bus depot
day dreaming
his painful
deathly throes
his worldly woes
his sufferings
shadow him
wherever he goes
wakes him up
to pangs of hunger
bouts of begging
when the winds
blow..the pain wont
diminish or outflow
who really cares
for him ..those
who engineered
the azad maidan
riots for muslims
of myanmar assam
wont ever see him
him or feel his sorrow
i only hope not another
politicized protest for
muslims of muzzafarnagar
in mumbai ..to pacify
our polarized leaders ego
those who died were all
indians due to a novice
running a large state
in one go..giving free
laptops does not change
crumbling law and order
scenario ..durga shakti
ma durga is coming
to remove all obstacles
durga ma ki jai ho..
