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
