Like
With their rasp,
hammer and knife,
they cut, chip
and break stones,
to make
lifeless gods,
As if a stone,
they cut, chipped
and broke her lifeless,
witnessed by
the lifeless stones,
in the sanctuary of shame
In immeasurable times?
(In the style of Ayushee Garg.
Never stopped weeping after hearing about Asifa Bano.
So many unheard, speechless Asifas are around us.
Forgive us children, for being rasps, hammers and knives.)

Very poignant, the images in particular. The hammer and the knife...symbols of creation and destruction...active verbs cut and chip enhance the effect. Good work. Keep writing.
