The Muslim Beggar On A Badly Dug Out Mumbai Road




a muslim man passes by
a hindu lady passes by
a street photographer
shoots her on the sly
she is having a frugal
lunch hiding it from all
your eyes..why is she
begging perhaps you
too are surprised ..
now why will you ask
her its not nice ..on a
mumbai perennially
dug out road an open
heart digging ,,to be
concise ..they dig leave
it open for someone
to fall in to be precise
our surroundings are
mounds of graves in
disguise ..now says
dev sab mumbai wont
ever be shanghai ,,says
another power loving
neta..Hai Mumbai
with a hurtful sigh
 ,,so back to the
muslim beggar lady
eating her meals as
the day goes by ,,
how much has she
earned ..what  will
she buy essentials
food for her family
in the slums ,,a thought
comes by ,,muslims
are least interested in
muslims ,,such is the
muslim social order
do tell me why ,,the
muslim beggar is an
untouchable is what
meets the eye ..beg
to live and beg to die

than i think of the 72 virgins
begging hands outstretched
in Dantes Paradise ...

a satirical sweep on life
thank you to all you guys
from a beggar poet in
bandra to surmise ..
