Cry Beloved Khada Parsi
|
monochromatic melodies
of time gone by
rhapsodic ruminations
that let out a sigh
miserable moments
under a blue sky
cry
my beloved khada parsi
outlive but dont die
you our heritage
we callously deny
you a chimney sweep
dust heat and soot
spires of a church nearby
a bridge on a
vehicular river why
the resilence
the spirit of mee mumbaikar
you indomitably personify
your presence our presence beautify
time tide bad tidings you defy
to this vibrant cities ups and downs
you testify
beneath your legs
the space they occupy
they piss , defecate
they fornicate
their brood multiply
a clothesline
on the sly
a cradle
holding a lullaby
above standing tall
sheth cutsetjee manockjee
1763-1845
mummify
parsi philanthrophist
that the parsi community
has no time to deify
tust in god and be not daunted
mere words that
his hardships horrify
tears as rain drops
liquefy
pigeon shit on his head
misery underlie
khada parsi
I shall always shoot
you each time in a cab
on the bridge
I pass by
it is with you dear bawaji
that my parsi frinds
keith kanga
rayomand framroze
I identify
