People Get Upset I Shoot Beggars .. It Gives The Country A Bad Name, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.
more than
the beggars
i shoot it
is these
sanctimonious
strangers
that feel
ashamed
they think
perhaps
i make
money
selling
beggar
pictures
they call
me names
beggar
photos in
your house
will you frame ?
i show the essence
of misplaced charity
my soul inflamed
little urchins
running after moving
cars at traffic signal
instead of studying
or playing games
the Muslims spend
so much on goats
but nothing for these
wretched souls ..
what a shame
a few coins will
not rehabilitate
them ..they will
remain the same
different faces
different names
seeing their
impoverished
state of existence
struggle a beggar
poet i became
.
