The Painter’s Agony (Continued 1) Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

The Painter’s Agony (Continued 1)



Months later
The town
On the bank
Of river Indus
That I wanted
To paint
With divine colors
On a canvas
From heaven
Has been
Painted red
With terror
With blood
With human flesh
The children
That I wanted
To see the town
With
Their eyes
Have all been killed
Brutally
Whose fault
Whose act
Whose responsibility
No one knows
