Blind Beggar

There was a blind beggar in front of mosque,

asking for alms,

his prayers were mournful,

his hands were looking in different direction than his eyes.

People were passing by him but could neither see him nor hear his cries.

Amongst many was I.

I saw him, simply took this pictures and left.

My feet were moving away but his cries still reached my ears.

There was a blind, deaf begger in me.
