India
Hindu pilgrims pray and bathe in Ganges
Snake charmer puts cobra at ease
Sadhus smoke their chillums
Burning ghats leave only ashes & fragments of skeletons
Cows roam all around
I walk on the sacred ground

folks upset
most

wake-up
brush teeth

struggle to subsist
ask big boss to piss
Why not protest?
