micro blogging
a peaceful
instrumental tool
reclined
on toadstools
interconnected

going round and round
in a minds whirlpool

the wise man fool
bankrupt
yet holding
on to his family
jewels

Marziya and The Little Man of Bandra

marziya
watches the
flip side of life
as it unfolds
first appu
the limbless man
now hyder khan
short and bold
flexible mold
out on the streets
living in the cold
distributing
shop pamphlets
of discount sale
on hill road
or used by the politicians
as a human clown
to entertain the
young and old
break dance
of democracy
a path
potholed

different hues
different shades
different colors
side by side
living in peace
why cant we
black white
indigenous brown
fighting
with each other
creating
chaos
disharmony
racism
like a hateful
stream
running
within our blood
silently
blood
that god gave
as single
color
to you and me

Raped In Her Sleep

Raped In Her Sleep, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.

does anyone care
her life her misery
her despair her agony
drunk asleep
a tragic comedy
one comes
pushes himself
into her warmth
goes away happily
than comes the druggie
pushes into her forcefully
while her child
watches haplessly
this is the dark side
of mans ignominy
casting his evil spell
to be or not to be
seminal words
re echoing a sordid
soliloquy
a film reel
that goes on and on
entirely

mother dead drunk and asleep
giving birth to children
easy and cheap
lost promises
she need not keep
while her child
in the public garden
takes a tarzans leap
mere pas ma hai
says the child
watching
motherhood
on a garbage heap
molten tears
on the pavement seep
