Sandhya Suri - A Photo Thought

(Written for all the pictures of downtrodden kids captured on camera)

Reminders of people forgotten
captured by a flash
or streams of light
manifesting dreams
of making it...
or disappointments
telling stories
of resigned poverty
while our children
want not and waste
and the rest of humanity
turns away...
