Honor Killing

by Anushree Pal

To kill for honor
you hunt your prey,
pride and honor
is all you say,
you make an excuse
to kill in your own way.

Beware!!

Cause time won't wait
not much far is that day
when bloodstains might wash away,
yet the world will be in gloom and dismay,
with no place safe enough to stay,
pride and honour is all you say.

Curb this pride
to you I say,
burn this honor is what I pray,
stop this practice
I am afraid.
