Honour and Shame

Honor has many meanings, like good reputation and high profile and principles.  It doesn't 
say anything about murder and killings.

Mothers and fathers killing their own and why? because they fear what others may say.
It's on the news day by day 'Asian girl' found dead in home.  It' makes me want to cry, 
theses girls didn't deserve to die.

The parents say their daughter bought shame on the family name.  Are they not ashamed for 
killing their own.

This has to stop, this has to end.  Honor killings are wrong.  There is no excuse, there is no 
reason.

 kills
shame kills.
