"FOR HONOUR" I look in from the outside A stranger to this cultural concept That someone does and people will kill For the sake of ‘misguided’ honour.
I saw on the news today A landmark case was won A brother’s nine year struggle for his dead sister Murdered for trying to flee a marriage come undone Finally bringing them to justice But are you surprised they were so close to home Finding perpetrators of a hideous crime But now they will serve their time.
A young Asian female life forsaken For being too western and wanting divorce Her new life just starting… cruelly taken Or just because they thought she brought the family ‘shame’ A cheap excuse for killers to permanently maim.
I can’t understand How this happens to be This isn’t my culture But still it’s illogical to me. Regardless of race, colour or creed To take the life of another is just wrong For love, honour, shame or greed I say Brother Singh, you were so very strong You battled it out, shouting the message To these people, so loud and clear It won’t be easy for them now English law they must fear To another country, another place To know they can’t send or force these girls To disappear without a trace Their death voices will be heard… And sooner not later justice will be served.
I write when my heart tells me to, I write to share my feelings and thoughts, I write because God wants me to, I write so a lesson may be learnt or taught.
I'm a pot on a stove, simmering gently, My emotions, feelings and dreams given a stir I’m a wonderful meal being made in a processor When complete, go on give me a whiz, and watch me whirr.
I am inspired by everything including you, a stranger A work in progress, I want to be an inspiration for all If at least one thing I write touches you deeply, then my job is done Who knows maybe it could be that one poem, which halts your own free-fall.
I'm here for my calling, a purpose, A fulfilling, passionate one I see I don't want to live my life like a blur, I want to experience, savour it slowly Sharing with you what it’s like to be me and to at last be free.
I want to express and be comforted, To read, learn and share what I know, To find out whom I was then, who I am now, Come with me and together we’ll experience this journey, as I grow.
Us writers and poets we have our talents I wouldn’t claim to be the better or best We all have our uniqueness that attracts readers, they alone are our judge But it doesn’t give us license to say we’re better than the rest.
I’m a humble, creative and curious being On a mission to make my goal of my book ‘INSPIRED’ real I’ll work hard, do what it takes to ensure I get there But would never lower myself to plagiarise or steal.
I’m not stuck writing in one genre I’ll tackle all poetry types and themes I hope when I achieve this I’ll inspire you To go out and make real your own dreams.
I guess that's what happens when I put pen to paper, I catch a vibe and I ride the power of the word I have a beautiful soul and inner voice, One I, and perhaps some of you now think shouldn't go unheard.
