amma why is he sleeping like this
does he not have a home that is his
why has he fallen into the depths
of an abyss our feet his fate kiss
amma i thing something is amiss


the drunken soul of man
wet in his piss good times gone
only pain to reminisce
karmic chaos persists
as i shoot people passing him by
life as it is comatose consciousness
of society has done this
they wont let him die nor allow
him to exist the story
of mans fall from grace
unscripted sorrow with a twist
he could take a shorter route
emotionalize his pain
cut his wrist
disappear into the mist

mans sudden fall from grace
his memories time seamlessly
will erase everything forgotten
even his rotten face
when his destiny from
his soulless existence
will part ways as he lies
on the floor disgraced
dreams women he
once chased
by each one
he was betrayed
as they kiss him
with their feet
moving away in haste
everything he possessed
he lost in a game of chance
his life a total waste
only a drop of poison
that he yearns to taste
the drunk soul of man

What does the child see
the drunken soul of man
in surrendered silence
the beginning of an end finally
the rise and fall
of a soldier of humanity
society passes him
by unsparingly
oh he is a drunk
just let him be
on the sidewalk of life
enslaved and free
on his face even
a dog lifting his leg
will insolently pee

Firoze - excellent series of shots of the drunk on the sidewalk.
Perseverance

Life differs from person to person, moments keep changing like wisps of bubbles , the sad and sordid story of mans fall from grace , he is not asleep but society is that passes him by almost touching him with their feet , but nobody really cares , even if he was bleeding or dead they would not give him a thought such is the cycle of pain that I shot a few feet away from him.

I wont bore you with text just see the entire series .

I dedicated this to a very good friend great street photographer Eric Parker from Toronto Canada.

The Most Dreaded Garment On Earth

The Most Dreaded Garment On Earth, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.

a part of a Muslim
woman's heritage
part of her birth
considered
by world racists the most
dreaded garment on earth
but in actuality
it adds to her spiritual girth
the hijab a garment of modesty
for all its worth
its worth

Jesus In Pain

Jesus In Pain, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.

his wounds dont heal
he bleeds as each time
from his loved ones
moments of happiness
they rob and steal
sodomizing his children
raping his children
hurting him more
than they feel
omerta code of silence
a mute appeal
he was the shepherd
he has lost his sheep
to whom it matters
no big deal
life goes on
spirituality
hijacked by a wheel
within a wheel
with the victims
power brokers
will cut a new deal
a price to be paid
to conceal
abrasions on the flesh
tears on the soul
of humanity
within the silhouette
of a papal seal
