What Do You Get By Shooting Beggars He Said ?

there are so many beautiful things

to be shot why do you shoot beggars

he was very upset use your camera to

capture the beauty of the sunset

chirping birds feeding their babies

in the nest .shoot that little chubby

boy dancing in the rain all wet

shoot happy things shoot joy bliss

roses magnolias shoot cats dogs

other pets but stop shooting

disfigured leprous faces ..posting

their pictures on the net you give

a bad name to our beautiful country

a thought i detest he said

sanctimonious his face all red.

.i duly apologized to him forcing

him to eat his words like burnt

chappatis while he was fasting did

not enter my head .. it was my

camera my optical illusions ..i used

as imagery instead of text..

the situation was very complex

than he said why did i not shoot

the prettier sex ..from fashion

magazines editorials i could get

a fat cheque ...i hurriedly moved

away from him a pain in the ass

a pain in the neck..,a beggar poet

chaos confusion total wreck..

in my camera eye he saw a

branch but in his own eye

he failed to see the dirty speck

 

we all see things differently

what the heck.. the cataract

in my eye i must recheck
