Sati: Sati is described as a Hindu custom in India in which the widow was burnt to ashes on her dead husband's pyre.

I yelled and screamed
But nothing could be done,

She yelled and screamed,
But nobody listened.

We held on to each other
But we were pulled apart.

She turned to look at me for the last time,
And we broke apart.

She did not want to die...
She didn't want her life to end.

But she was helpless,
Cause her husband was dead.

She was my mother,
I watched her get burnt alive

  1. It is the pain of the children that no one else could ever understand, while their mothers had to burn, in the name of what? Penance?

    Nice post.
