Who Kills His Own Daughter? Poem by Ravi Kopra
Who Kills His Own Daughter?
A hindu
He cannot afford her dowry
Why not bury her alive at birth? he reasons
Why throw away money for no return, he reasons
Raising a child is just a family business.
A muslim
His daughter has a lover
He lost all his honor
Cutting her throat like bakra-e-id goat
He gets back the honor when
His friends praise: what a true believer!
