Firoze Shakir Poet - Frozen Time

Wednesday, July 3, 2013

every
morning
the crows
of bandra
bazar road
come to blows
each one
wanting to
pose for
beggar poet
barefeet blogger
firoze ..so each
morning to attract
his poetic attention
they put up a great
show .. in slow motion
some black beauties
with their beaus
some with chicken legs
held in their beaks
some with dead rose
some flapping their
wings like Belafonte
King of Calypso
the garbage dump
looks like Totos Disco
some shitting on
peoples head sitting
at a neigbors window
some happy eating
stale mangoes
the fragrance
of dead fish
peeled prawns
emanates as
it grows .
some black
horny crows
ogling at
ladies in their
nightclothes
some crows
cawing at
drunkards
drug addicts
lying dead
enjoying
garbage
porn
old crates
serving
as pillows

the crows
dont want the
bandra bazar
garbage dump
to go from here
they have collectively
sent madame sonia
gandhi a memo

World Famous Photgraphers Come To Shoot The Garbage Dump Of Bandra Bazar.. Wonders Of Mumbai

World Famous Photgraphers Come To Shoot The Garbage Dump Of Bandra Bazar.. Wonders Of Mumbai, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

Vying with the Mahalaxmi Dhobi Ghat as a quintessential tourist attraction , foreigners come here to Bandra Bazar Road to see the art form called Garbage Porn..

It is an amazing sight , my grandchildren have been honing their photography skills shooting this beauty in ugliness ...this site unfortunately is not seen by politicians , police people or Municipality authorities , they are busy elsewhere getting their acts together so they have no time .

I am told teachers from neigboring schools have shown interest bringing children here to show them this beautiful man made natural site .. kids from a Muslim girls school close by want to bring their students with placards banners Save Our Garbage ...garbage has a right to exist .. along with the usual placards that they carry Save Trees ..
