What has the world come to?
How can honour killing be justified
In the name of religion?
There’s no rhyme or reason
When it comes to crime and treason
I’m ashamed to be a part
Of this barbarous society
Where women are objectified
Their basic rights are denied
They’re beaten, harassed
Left to bear the brunt of men’s hostility
Oppressed, constantly silenced
Stripped of their dignity
There’s dearth of compassion
No sense of morality
The newspapers full with tales of
Massacre, rape and merciless savagery
If we don’t take a stand against this insanity
It’ll very soon be the end of humanity
Bottled Up Sentiments. .
