Sati

The raging fire blazed,
Tears rolled down her silent face.
The conflict had wreaked destruction,
Ceilings bowed to the ground,
Carcasses strewn all about.
In the middle raged one great bonfire,
As she watched her soulmate burn,
she wept.
Custom dictated she must do it,
My influence couldnt overcome her.
Sister and Kindred,
Giving away All,
She threw herself in,
To be with her husband.
