Honor Killings Make Dishonorable Men. By Dr. Carole Fontaine
They say it is for honor.It is not.
They say it is for family.It is not.
They say it is Tradition.It is not.
They say it is Religion.It is not.
Give it a real name:call it despair
that makes a manfind his courage there,
in slaying a female!Such an honorable deed!
such an inconvenient need,keeping women alive
just so they can breed!
Are they human, these brave men?Do they also bleed,
or have human feelings,or only the need
to feed upon helplessand those who depend-
a mother, a daughter, a wife, a friend-all fodder for honor
men shall never achieveby such bloody measures,
for such raging greedto be powerful, male,
in control, and avenged.
When all the women are gone,where is their honor then?
