What Is Childhood Without Hands

What Is Childhood Without Hands, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

watching him
play cricket
gilli danda
i felt in my head
tried to understand
why is pain
predominantly
indian a heritage
of this land
some rape
murder steal
making use
of their limbs
time weeps
watches
mutely stands
kill another
person for
a few grands
the hand that
takes bribes
rapes the nations
treasury ..and
must i really
expand ..sadhus
wolves in sheep
clothing supported
by a corrupt system
by a matrix of evil
our national brand
this was not the
country for which
the freedom fighters
fought gave their lives
now going down
the quicksand..

the limbless beggar
of ajmer ..courage
honor ..pride of
my motherland
