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
