Buried Alive Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

Buried Alive

Rating: 5.0


Born to a mother
A father with honor
Raised in the village
With dolls and fantasies
Carried human emotions
And the exuberance of youth
Buried alive
In the name of honor
And religion
Those women
In a collective ritual
The crime was love
In a forbidden land
