The Siddis Condemned To A Greater Hell On Earth, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.
made to mimic
the zulu warriors
on mumbai street
the siddis of noble
african parentage
i chanced to meet
at the holy saints
urus ..a spiritual
meet ..agony bitter
sweet ..in his eyes
i saw the moment
of his defeat the siddi
his fate could not
cheat.. a lost
soul incomplete
performing for the
dumb masses
siddi dancing feet
drumming their
ancestral pain
a moment obsolete
dreams dying
in slow retreat
