Mumbai Is Home For Beggars Beyond Caste Color Or Creed

on the soul of humanity
its beggars we breed
beggars who plead
sitting at street corners
is it money or rehabilitation
they need but who cares for
beggars this world of greed
drug addict beggars all kinds
of beggars blind limbless
crippled lepers beggars
growing like weeds kashmiri
beggars with wife little children
at bandra east , beggars with
babies in arms begging at
traffic signals able bodied
beggar girls dressed as hijras
clapping their hands eyeing
the moneyed ..mumbai the
golden city of beggars little
kids carrying little kids beggar
kids potbellied ..beggar children
who will never go to school learn
or read ..beggar ladies weeping
showing you a corpse lying covered
with white cloth asking money
for it to be buried..yes i shoot
beggars . young girl mothers
as they breast feed ..beggars
poor old withering away in
the wind beggars pitied
once a beggar always a
beggar by the god of lesser
mortals it was decreed

a humble tribute to beggars
my beggar poetry ,,,
