Born to a mother <br />A father with honor <br />Raised in the village <br />With dolls and fantasies <br />Carried human emotions <br />And the exuberance of youth <br />Buried alive <br />In the name of honor <br />And religion <br />Those women <br />In a collective ritual <br />The crime was love <br />In a forbidden land<br /><br />Sadiqullah Khan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/buried-alive-6/
