The day’s newspaper shook my heart.
I can only shed a tear on my part.
A heartless father shot his daughter.
It was like an animal slaughter.

Necessity crushes everything but no life in the law kingdom of inhumane love!

It is a heart wrenching poem, but the reflects the reality of Indian society where such occurings are not uncommon.In the name of family's honour many girls are killed.Society has changed a lot.Still mindset of people has changed little.

I give 4 stars, but....'Why a father kills his daughter, O'er such a simple love matter? ' Obvioulsy it was NOT a 'simple love matter'. Many are not. And maybe the parent(s) knew 'better', but a gun and violence should not be used. : (

Heart rending poem written in very simple and appropriate words dear poetRamachandran. This happens with absurd people who never change their mind with changing time.

A heart-wrenching story. Lovely poem by Rajaramji. A well-deserved recognition as POD today. May his soul rest in peace.

The problem with us is that the parental love is not unconditional. Every parent has the right to plan the life of his children but has no right to take away their life just for one's whims and fancies. I have often thought about another problem that our children face in the hands of their parents. When parents commit suicide they also force their children into the grave-yard. If these children knew what was happening to them, would they surrender themselves to the whims and fancies of their parents in a willing manner? Are our children simply toys in the hands of their parents? Out of the parents' pleasure, children are born and out of their rage, they get exterminated. This is indeed a cornering situation for our children. Something must be done. I appreciate your concern.

touching poem depicting the extremism of love

So many cultures place a woman's honor above life and goodness and purity. When father's kill daughters, the world is an evil place to be in. Your poem stirs the compassionate heart and educates us regarding a sad fact of life. Peace, L&T

Once again a rare soul expresses his wisdom in poetry. If more people wept over the tragedies reported in the daily news, the world might be a very different place. Fine work, Rajaram. Always your distant friend, Sandra
