A leper mothers cry of upbringing her two kids as she begs on the streets of Mumbai


Poem Artwork

a daughter and a son
part of her spiritual pilgrimage
her soul in a decaying fetid cage
eyes as sockets on the surface
she begs with dignity
boran road hill road
in bandra
the queen of the suburbs
her worldly stage
a leper mothers day
on a tattered page
battered hopes
shattered dreams
scattered sorrow
unhealing wounds
unfeeling wounds
time wont assuage
gods will be done
in all humility
no personal hurt
no inner conflict or rage
a tear drop of shame
on my Flickr page

dedicated to all mothers
of all  caste color creed and make
those sleeping those awake
some cosmetic some fake
some nursing a heart break
motherhood
metaphoric memories for gods sake

Say Something Terrorible v3 by RickthePoetWarrior

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.
