If You See All My Pictures Of Pitru Paksh Since I Began Shooting It,,,The Life Of The Beggar Has Not Changed, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.
they come
on the eve
of navratra
on pitru paksh
day...stretched
out hands ,,
near the archway
some give them
money some
kurmura ,,
the traditional
way ,,to their
dear departed
ancestors
the north
indian migrant
offers prayers
the beggars
make sure
they are there
life broken down
leprous bare
putrid wounds
through blind
eyes socketless
they stare ..
beggars are
beggars their
fate fulsome
is the only
thing they
share ,,,
beggars
beyond
caste
color
creed
their
collective
ethnicity
from here
till doomsday
this was shot on pitru paksh 2012 ,, as a picture some wordplay
