We Indians Are Born Dreamers Shot by Nerjis Asif Shakir 2 Year Old

through our votes
dreams we purchase
from dream merchants
long distant happiness
we gladly hope to embrace
we are confident but also
fools on the surface
sometimes taken for a ride
left on the sidewalk. without
trace all in all it is part of our
DNA ..that dreams we chase
acche din anewala hain  ab ki
bar ya agli bar just in case

a picture shot by a two year old
child - man his shortcomings his
fall from grace caught in a frame
within a frame street photography
is not just shooting a picture ..but
reliving a moment in your cosmic
mind before you aim god created
a situation made sure you came
on the soul of humanity to lay
your claim inscribe your name

The Healing Touch..

of a child ..
soft tender mild
in a world where
muslim beggars
are humiliated
racially profiled
demarginalized
reviled ..she
shoots their
pain pathos
street agony
nerjis asif shakir
my grand child
destiny touched
her smiled ..
her story
through my
poetry blogs
humbly
compiled

The Healing Touch

nerjis offered  a tenner
to the wife of the blind beggar
tenderly she clutched as such
whispered softly to the child
nerjis thank you so much..

 3 month old she
holds the camera
with a firm grip
from her hand
it dare not slip
camera vision
silent lips

from the flesh
the soul
she will strip

a cosmic
friendship

from the hip
a chip
of the old blog

runs in her blood
touch of her
finger tips
she will
shoot beggars
hijras pain
suffering
hardship
with every picture
my dream outstrip
a memory chip
moving images
poetry as filmstrip

the sun has her main light clouds as
reflectors a thought diffused
truth her path her virtue 

2 Month Old Street Photographer Waiting In The Wings

nerjis asif shakir
has a camera
her pair of wings
to her 2 month
old innocent soul
interestingly it clings
the camera that
holistically heals
everything
the camera
in a world
of two eyed people
the only one eyed king
to those who shoot
to those who view
 pictures happiness
it brings above all things
once in your life
time with the camera
have a fling a love
affair that never ends
the only solid thing
