A Begger’s Wish Poem by MAGNUS AMUDI

A BEGGER’S WISH

I wish not to be the president
For I shall not sleep at wish
I wish not to be the lawmaker
For I may break them

I wish not to be a judge
My son maybe ducked before me
I wish not to be a priest
I might not heal the sick

I wish not to be an actor
Someone might name me indecent
I wish not to be a teacher
I might teach outdated principles

I wish not to be an executor
I might execute someone for a crime
I also committed sometimes ago

All I wish is to be me
Living life as it unfolds.
