Kill

Honor-Killing: One Line Poem

It should be an honor
Not to kill but here
I see people killing,
Killing couples in love,
In the name of caste,
Killing them in the name of honor.

This is a poem portraying the honor-killing acts still prevalent in India. Still many young couples in love die, killed by their parents in the name of caste, to protect the honor of their family.

Thank you Chalkboard team for the amazing collaboration. This poem is in response to the August 19 prompt “Honor Amongst Us” by Lee-Ann Hancock
