Sacrificed Life

Young, youthful life
Vibrant, colourful, fit
Full of desire, wishes and goals
A personality to set examples
To show others that…
Life is wonderful
Just let yourself go

Only if the others freed themselves
From the shackles of ‘honour’
To experience simple things in life
Freedom, laughter and life

But NO!!
Others did not live or let live
Physical and mental violation
Tortured with ego and arrogance

The ultimate price to a youthful life
A divorce perhaps
Or worse still – throat slitting
A murder outlawed in a land of freedom
But shinning virtue in the land of …where?

Is there a God?
Where is the justice
Why is the justice different?
When we are all God’s children?
Karmic cycles
Round and round
Does anything change???
Hidden in this vast world
Such things happen
Raising its ugly head
At different times
Different worlds
A sacrificed life can be
Living or dead?

Very thought provoking and relevant.The content reflects many issues of today. Cultures and beliefs colliding in bloody horror. Is there a God? Not one who would want this cruelty inflicted in his name. Those who kill in the name of their God insult their God. To kill one person is to kill usall.Meena, you have captured despair and frustrated anger very powerfully. Your reminder that we are all God's children offers us hope.
Thank you

Hi again

Yes I am angry and frustrated at times because there are situations in life which you would like to see change, but it does not. It may seem there is change but it is all superficial. I have seen my mother sacrifice a lot in life and still is!

Best
