Another One Bites ...

Another One Bites ...
Originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1

Ashes to ashes Dust to Dust
Another one bites the crust
Blown up to smithereens
A world of cybernetic hate
Your own crooked shadow
You dare not trust
Libidinous lassitude
Passed away as second hand
Recyclable lust
Man sanctimonious slave
Born baptized accursed
What follows is a tragedy
unrehearsed
drowning in a watery grave
parched lips unquenchable thirst
poetic punishment as outburst
no more a poem hunter
just me in retrospection
my faith my thoughts encrust
the blasphemous balloon
empty aired sighing as it burst.

This is an old poem, I was targetted by Shia hardliners or Shia Wahhabis, and all because somebody had hacked into my Buzznet site and put porn pictures, the site was frozen for investigation.. I was threatned and in a single night frustrated with photo blogging I deleted 11000 blogs..

I shoot Naga Sadhus doing Ling Kriya
Post their pictures on my site
Does that mean I am not a good Shia
I shoot Hijdas post them on my site
Laxmi Narayan Tripathi
Trans gendered Singaporean Priya
Does that mean I am not a good Shia
Somebody posts dirty pictures on my site
The whole world in Lucknow goes mama mia
Does that mean I am not a good Shia
For my faith I was born in a land
The Imam loved..I weep, my Karbala a dropp of tear
Does that mean I am not a good Shia
Yes I am a Hindustani Muslim
Mutual Coexistence with Hindus
About which I am very clear
What right do you have
To judge me whether I am a good or a bad Shia.
Be Man don’t play God …before you pass judgment
My side too you must hear
Rabble rousing mediocre emotions
God make me a Kaffir..
My birthright threatened as a Shia.
I am a photojournalist, a poet photographer
a human being..my maturity of thought
do not sneer…

Nitihari Kingdom of the meek

Nitihari Kingdom of the meek

Pictures that speak
Of human love
Different faiths
With hate you
Do not tweak
A slap
Resounding
On a mutative cheek
Blessed are those that
Raped sodomized
will be robbed for body parts
Nitihari the kingdom of the meek
Cannibalistic taste of society
Pinnacle of a pipsqueak
Says justice hold on
While I go take a leak

Enough is enough
Life is frickin tough
Congested chest
phlegmatic dry cough
Half open
Eyes unceremoniously
Playing blind mans buff
Photoblogging
In cyberspace
Marginalized by cybernetic hate
cobbled path so rough
fee fie fo fum
11000
blogs blown away in a puff

A sufi monk
A shia pandit
Two thoughts
Pretending to be one
A crescent and a rising sun
Two parallel lines
That on the soul s beaten track
Surreptitiously spun
Yes looking at them
Their detractors poke fun
A Single mother her
Twin Sons
One body one soul
Dust to dust ashes to ashes
In the long run

Fanning the Fires of Hate

burning in the cauldron of her hate
on a hot plate
he latest Cajun recipe jambalaya
rice duck pate Indian sauce
a bad aftertaste
no more culinary comments
no more culinary poems to rate
bubbling emotional state
simmering slowly
at the forum of her heart the endless wait
she who calls me cheap skate
hands me left overs
on the broken heart of my plate
erases the writings on my hearts slate
me a wandering minstrel
searching for a soul mate

Frozen Ice

My words tears frozen as ice
My slithering sorrow no surprise
The best of me written off
On a tissue paper
A blue toilet in disguise
My blogs squirming worming
Frowning drowning a ship
Fleeing mice ..
Foolishly floundering
In cowardly cries..
