The Brave New World Of Beggars

The Brave New World Of Beggars, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

He is silent quiet
does not say a word
clipped wings broken
legs the fate of a bird
aborted flight ...tears
in his eyes sounds
unheard ...once he
too loved to fly
till he fell on
barren earth
with a thud...

The Beggars Of Ajmer

in the holy saints
paradise of peace
you find them
begging on knees
deformed devastated
mutilated their lives
on lease .. here at
ajmer they come
beg at ease seeking
from allah the almighty
their final release
with beggar pictures
the insensitive soul
of humanity i tease
i poetize pain...as
it seductively kisses
the breeze ...i shoot
i capture i freeze

in ajmer there are more
beggars worse than these .

A Tumblr Full Of Dreams

lying on the floor
lady luck comes
knocks at his door
tells him a billion dollars
you are worth more
beggar wake up
dont you yet
get the score
change your clothes
rediscover the pleasures
of life no more begging
on all fours ..your bleeding
knees no blood and gore
he looked up at lady luck
dressed as mayer at his door
he pleaded oh please dont
screw me ..let me live my
beggarly dreams happy
with whatever is in store
tears on the soul of flickr
a new makeover ...as the
heavens above began
to pour .. on lady luck
he shut the door

his face blackened
his eyes caverns
to the lord save me
save me he implored
