The Hornet

A daughter to a mother who could hardly meet the ends A sister to siblings who had climates as friends A wife to the man who would always keep her burning like in a pan A mother to a six year old and had the other one comming in three months A news came flashing on a friday morning that she had taken her life The people as ever would blame the poison or the knife Be it the family or the society All are to be blamed for the loss of life We don't bother to ask our look If a man is being a crook or a woman is held hostage by the hook.

HM not sure how I feel about this. So many emotions are running through my entire body right now. When you say, "women being held hostage by a hook" what do you mean by that? Personally, I would never put a hook through my wife, but is that a fetish of yours? Let me know.

Hey Bernard, Personally none of us would want to hold a woman by hook but we can not deny that happening around, the hook can be the standards set by societies, by the families and by the governments.. Women are said to be given free rights in the West but trust me that's true in every aspect. I have seen hundreds of single mom's suffering and crying in desolation, what would call such men. Here women are supposed to be the queen's of the clan but the regard is not given all in once to them Apart from all of it I find you to be a kind hearted person feeling every word. Thankyou for the read.. Love from Kashmir
