Very intense and moving. Well done. No mean feat to write poems. Most difficult thing to do.

Loved reading it. Good luck with words. Keep writing!) Your poem took me back to my school days when I learnt what Sati is all about... A topic that is a matter of controversy all the time. A practice where women being physically forced to deaths. They even called it a marriage between the widow and her deceased husband!!! I just can't believe it that women were (are? I hope not!) being buried alive... They said, ??? ??????????? ??????????????? ??????? ????????? | ???????.??????? ??????? ? ??????? ????????????? || "Let these women, whose husbands are worthy and are living, enter the house with ghee (applied) as collyrium (to their eyes). Let these wives first step into the pyre, tearless without any affliction and well adorned." It all REALLY HAPPENED! But for now, let us just be happy by thinking that change is continuous and constant in this world. What was right earlier is wrong now and so it continues.
