Woman


Woman,
Mother, Sweetheart,
Lover, mistress, wife, pawn
Used, abused
Scarred, tortured
Mentally, physically
The soul destroyed
Dreams and aspirations
Blown apart
Doomed to a life
Of subservience

She was violated
Battered, bruised
Broken in spirit and body
Yet it was trivialized
But when it dawned that
A torn piece
Of tissue
Was a matter of honour
She was killed!!

Wow! Feel great to see you being prolific & topical. The world is awakening to this BS called Honour Killing. But, our ostrich syndrome continues, felt sad when the caste references were censored from Love,Sex aur Dhokha.
