Death Wish Of An Orphan Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

Death Wish Of An Orphan



‘I Had to kill my self
To be yours
To absorb the pain
Of your closeness'
Chaos of Being

Not seen a parent, the father's shadow
Looms large. But not it seen, the one who
Live by it, and don't escape, are in mental slavery.
Be it a Pasha with Ottomans,
The Wahhabi cult; isolates, indoctrinates
Tells ‘holier than thou', schismatic
The purifier, a hired assassin.
His face reads the gloom of a destroyed citadel,
An apparent grave, underneath lies the corpse.
His woman no one shall see, is a monologous
Ghost, thrives on chants. The white of her eyes
Are like rough rounded stones, - droughty.
He shall lead hundreds of men to paradise
On the Day of Judgment. So he wishes death.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
"Richard Paa Kofi Botchwey's must read book about an orphan, -basically his life story has been described as inspirational, moving, thought-provoking and feted on Amazon as, "a book about life. How painful and beautiful it can be. It is a lesson teacher as well as a comforter. It is an encourager as well as a chastiser. It is a journey through a storm with a triumphant ending. It is a book that can help change the world; a spellbinding memoir of childhood aching sadness and desperate humor. It is a testament which makes you believe, in spite of poverty and death, there is hope for the future. This chronicle of amazing triumph against all odds will help you understand life properly and live to be a blessing to the world." @ Ghana Rising
