Is That Honor

Where can I find you? Only in my imagination For you have gone to a place This has one way entrance And no one has any chance You struggled hard Endured all the hazard Of shameful honor killing I wanted to accompany you Even to that other world But failed in fulfilling My promise that I made I was left to carry Lifelong burden And a sense of guilt I can’t imagine How can parents Who had given birth Kill their own children For they have loved someone Whom they not like Are we still living? In the world of barbarism Are they wild beasts? Not human even in the least We are said to be The ancestors of monkey family But it’s not true For a mother monkey Don’t want to part with Even its dead baby In fact human is the worst animal Do they feel honored? To kill their own soul parts It can only do The one who Has no soul at all
