2011
every one had a blast
the die was cast
smooth and fast
but for the poor man
on the street the
present was past
shivering in the cold
a bonfire a total outcast
fatalistic by the gods
harassed empty hands
only tears amassed

these are disgruntled birds
fed up of a system the
pathos poetry of politics
they are joining
another political
party hypocritical world
convenience is a commodity
a lesson they learned
the old party
they have spurned
now a new position
new dreams old ones burnt
some more ill gotten loot
needs to be earned
que sera sera
whatever will be
will be the karmic
wheel turned

the living dead
searching
for a new dawn
homeless
hopeless
full of scorn
what i shoot
is undiluted
street porn
a life outworn
the living dead
for whom the
dead living
mourn
a shroud
seminal
stained
all torn

he has no home
but on the sidewalk
he has his bed
the mumbai traffic
at mahim wakes
him up moves ahead
he curses he shouts
his face gets red
these are the denizens
without hope the living dead
peddling drugs they
earn their bread
