God Have Mercy On Me




whatever my shortcomings
 my failures my fault i ate
your salt ..followed all your
commandments thou shalt
when bad times came  i held
on to your faith i did not grumble
rebel or revolt ..you were the
light that led me through
pitfalls ..darkness surrounds
me even now my soul a
wailing wall..i beg on the streets
the birth of man his downfall

“Love is the cure,
for your pain will keep giving birth to more pain
until your eyes constantly exhale love as effortlessly as your body yields its scent.”


― Rumi

Swiatoslaw Wojtkowiak Point And Shoot



swiatoslaw.com/

We met in Ajmer and Swiatoslaw was documenting the Dam Madar Malangs walking from Delhi with them ..till they reach Ajmer .
My friend Marc de Clercq too was accompanying them and had told me about Swiatoslaw.

As his name is difficult to pronunce by us Indians he calls himself Duniya which means The World and he shoots the world od Darkness and Twilight ..he is a adventurer documenting witchcraft and other dark rituals all over the world .

For me as an amateur my meeting with him that lasted about an hour was a learning a form of unique experience ..

He was shooting Ajmer with a point and shoot and I too decided to follow his path of photography ,,, as long as your mind holds the camera vision you are beyond the reach of the camera be it Nikon or Canon.

Of late I hardly shoot pictures I have so much in my archives that old images tweaked via Aviary are reborn adding a new gist to the gesture of my restless angst..and I am a beggar poet .. words clinging to the drape of my images ..giving them form contour and body...

Swiatoslaw. is on Flickr too check him out

I Am A Beggar I Am A Muslim But I Am 100% India





politicized
marginalized
victimized
i am what
i am in my
 cavernous
 eyes ...
i live i die
i fall i rise
even god
refuses to
hear my cries
a sacrificial goat
on the soul of
my humanity
misplaced
sacrifice
you live once
you die twice

In Gods World Man Is A Beggar



what happened
that broke apart his
life , his cosmic pain
his inherent strife
homeless hopeless
begging on the street
a dreamer his dying

'we are all just prisoners here, of our own device'



ostentatious display
of wealth ..mammoth
rallies the name of
democracy ..

blitzkrieg to attain
the post of supremacy
the poor beg on the
streets .dance of lunacy

enslaved to a system
of false promises
failed governance
will we ever be free

as fate catches up
with time stealthily..

ab ki bar kaun banega PM
be part of history .

Who Forms The Next Government Or Who Is The Next PM ..Will It Change The Destiny of the Poor




i am not sure
politics of aggrandizement
politics of hate personal attacks
promoted by paid media
the common man endures
waters of hope poisoned
made impure .for this
malaise is there any cure
i am still not sure
the nation needs a healer
a messiah a savior
everything else obscure
the rich will become richer
the poor will always be poor

ab kin bar kaisi sarkar
politics of tour ,,,

The Indian Votes




Like a beggar with his bowl
for hope better prospects
human goals ..but finds to
his dismay that he will
soon be forgotten..
for the next five years
dead soul..disillusionment
his name deleted when he
comes out to poll ..
politics is about making
the candidate rich his
priority sand oil coal
the poor man perishes
a story time told .
paid media creates
monsters saints ..
a story unfolds ..

democracy on hold

Women Empowerment Is Only For The Rich ..And The Super Bitch


Oh God This Time Give Us A Good Honest Clean Government !



not one that promotes
scams corruption ..
where the supreme leader
watches mute silent from
a distant as his ministers
fleece the poor plunder
 the soul with their evil
involvement
becoming rich overnight
with enticement ..
no progress no peace
no development ,,
coalition compulsions
anarchy murders rape
rule of the gun..
devastation and arson

Indian Politics Is About PMs Chair Lust For Power ,Personal Attacks , Religious Bias but not about Governance Law And Order Human Welfare

to our deceased customer late Mr. Morris Thompson an American who died along
with his entire family in the plane crash of Alaska Airlines Flight 261 which
crashed on January 31 2000, including his wife and only daughter. and since
then the fund has been in a suspense account.

After my further investigation, I discovered that Mr. Morris Thompson died with
his next of kin and according to the laws and constitution guiding this banking
institution, it states that after the expiration of (12 TO 13 year)  if no body
or person comes for the claim as the next of kin, the fund will be transferred
to national treasury as unclaimed fund. Because of the static of this transaction
I want you to stand as the next of kin so that our bank will accord you the
recognition and have the fund transferred to your account.

The total sum will be shared as follows: 60% for me, 40% for you and all incidental
expenses that may occur during the transfer process will be incurred by both
of us.

The transfer is risk free on both sides hence you will follow my instructions
till the fund get to your account.  More detailed informations with the official
application form will be Forwarded to you to explain more comprehensively what
is required of you.

the system is so corrupt
after rendering the soul

the politicians rich the poor
bankrupt ..once he has

for 5 long years he is

talk under the cover of
misplaced religiosity
besides sectarian hate
sending Muslims to Pakistan
honestly what can they develop
hyperbolic statements in an
empty envelop..

You Intrigue Me Dear Friend



I like to think that every person comes into our life for a reason, a season or a life time.... even if it is just that passing stranger one smiles at on the street. There is a reason for that smile and that interaction. Sometimes we push a forever person away thinking they are only in our life for a reason or a season. Other times we cling to someone who we think should be in our life for a lifetime, but was only meant to be there a season. The internet has opened so many avenues of thought and experience sharing.....

Chor Bazar The Market Of Thieves


I was once a regular visitor sun shine or rain
..i would rush to this crazy peoples
flea market a Friday Street Fair ..let down
my hair ..shooting faces sardonic their
mocking stare ..fools enter where angels
fear to dare .. I was ensnared ..

Its been many years I stopped going there
these pictures my momentous memories
of that glorious era I share ..

Chor Bazar Market Of Thieves





every frame every picture a new story
weaves , once you come here , your
poetic soul wont want to leave ..the past
now cobwebbed on the street side for
the good old days grieves..

gone the original owners of these masterpiece
, sold to the bhangarwala
for a few rupees ..memories gone with
the winds lost in the breeze ..

janewale ho sake toh laut ke ana an old
song plays ,at mutton street ....time in a freeze
..ruka hua waqt aur kisi aur ki
dehleez ,,bhulibjatki yadein kahan gaya
woh caravan .. adab aur tehzeeb,,

Happy Easter To All My Christian Friends
