‘Am I A Terrorist?’ is a book of poems that starts with a chilling introductory poem of a terrorist who is all set to murder many innocent people in cold blood. However, the terrorist’s plot is unveiled and he is caught by the authorities. He ends up winning a medal for his country at the Commonwealth Games, a feat that brings him laurels. The remaining poems deal with the trials of war, life and optimism, patriotism, humanity and freedom. There is a second section in which the poet brings out her love for Mother Nature, describing how mankind should protect the world they live in, by treating it as a gift and an asset.

Book Description
In a planet usurped today by graveyards of terrorism, this poetic collection imparts enlightenment, optimism, courage and an eternal desire to breathe free . God's sacred earth isn't the way it used to be when it was created, thanks to greed of man which has indiscriminately torn apart every creed, color and definition of time for the 5 alphabets called 'MONEY'. The devil has spread terror in the name of religion, in the name of God, most abusively, without the slightest remorse. This book brilliantly equates 'love' and 'terrorism' at every step and goes on to timelessly prove that no matter how ghastily terrorism perpetuates into the atmosphere, immortal love perennially triumphs over one and all on the earth. A startling collection of anti terror poems in an hour when the world wants them more than anything else, Parekh's words act as a harbinger of peace to infinite masses agonizingly estranged in brutal violence and bloodshed. A must read for every patron of global peace out there !

Book Description
STATE OF SHOCK (SOS) by Jerry Mazza is the first book by an American poet to deal solely with 9/11 and the resulting Iraq and Afghanistan wars and their effect on the American psyche. These startling narrative and lyrical poems are an S O S to all to be aware of the dangers we presently face. With poems of bold imagery and rhythmic intensity, poet and journalist Mazza confronts the dangers head-on. His poems suggest that an operation with the magnitude of 9/11 was not the work of 19 Islamic “terrorists” but members of our own ruling elite to start “The War on Terror” in a grasp for Mid-Eastern oil and power. Additionally, Mazza believes the Towers were not toppled by fires caused by the "hijacked airliners," but rather by powerful internal explosions from within the Towers that preceeded the 10- second, free-fall crumbling of the buildings, literally at the speed of gravity. Beyond that, Mazza concludes that 9/11 constituted a form of coup d’etat by the Bush administration, the purpose to gain unprecedented powers for war-making and appropriations as well as for controlling civil dissent. As Daniel Estulin, author of the international best-seller, The True Story of the Bilderberg Group, writes in his foreward to Mazza’s State Of Shock... “...I keep reminding myself that the pages of this book are a re-vindication of decency at the expense of cruelty and chance. For me, the main theme is not political nor is it an outspoken criticism of totalitarianism but rather the beating of a Man’s loving heart—and it is for the sake of this theme that it should be read...” Anyone interested in the future of America and the world--anyone interested in the power of poetry for political activism and personal expression should read Jerry Mazza's State Of Shock.

Book Description
Terrorism, which is one of the most important topics in the world today, refers to any act designed to cause ''terror'' by means of violence or the threat of violence. As a fundamental rule, terrorism is politically and emotionally charged, because it is meant to instill fear within, and thereby intimidate people - an entire country or even the whole world. Terrorism is certainly frightening, but the best way we can fight it is by living our lives without terror.At the UN webpage on terrorism, we read: "Countering this scourge is in the interest of all nations and the issue has been on the agenda of the United Nations for decades."Now we can understand why 64 Poets from 43 different countries have written a letter to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, and to the Presidents of each of the countries whence they come from.As stated in the letter to Mr Ban Ki-moon: "Through the poems, we wish to express our unanimous desire for universal peace and to add our voice to those other unequivocal voices at the United Nations who say ''NO'' to the scourge of terrorism".It is a symbolic gesture, but it highlights their commitment as "Poets against Terror".As Fabrizio Frosini, the publisher, says: "I started this editorial project after the murdering of so many innocents in Paris, on November 13, 2015, as a tribute to them and to the countless other victims of terror, worldwide. I started the project, but it is a collective book: a compilation of poems written by 64 poets from 43 different countries from all over the world, who believe in peace and brotherhood, and are against any kind of ''terror''.Other voices of the Poets:This project is about compassion for the victims of terrorism, it''s a celebration of a simple equation: ''violence = more violence; peace = peace''. We have made it clear, we are not debating causes, but mourning a particular ''effect'' which is the intentional murder of innocents''''. - D.J. Brick, USAAs someone born in Sri Lanka, a country that will always be remembered as the birth place of the suicide bombing, I can only offer my own tears to lessen the pain and to heal from this terrible plague and my own sweat to lay one brick to build a universal home for peace. - D. Gunawardana, Sri LankaНаши потери мучительны, но террор - это инструмент манипуляции через запугивание, поэтому нам следует искать истинные причины, а не реагировать слепо.Our losses are painful, but terror is a tool of manipulation via frightening, so we should search for the true reasons and not react blindly. - G. Italyanskaya, RussiaThe most difficult aspect to accept about all the senseless violence in the world is the fact that we are doing this to each other, and that by now negative political, religious and social dynamics have become so complex that it is hard to believe in a better future. Therefore, each person must begin with him- or herself in contributing peace and non-violent solutions to our shared humanity. - B. B. Linder, GermanyIwe neni tikabatana, nyika inobudirira (in Shona)You are because I am, together we can make the world a better place - T. Makadho, ZimbabweJag sörjer och stödjer med all min vänlighet ,med tanken på alla oskyldiga offer och anhöriga,och tyst gråtande hjärtan,min tro bygger på ett liv utan grymhet, och ord som vågar uttrycka solidaritet.I gave rise to much kindness, I think of all the people and children and the hearts of silence cry, I admit a new faith without cruel life, how to find words how dare to dare. - I. Molnar, SwedenWhat is gained from the killing of children, people shopping for food, those just passing by? - L. Beck, USAThe dead body of the 3-year-old on the beach will haunt humanity forever, if we can''t put an end to terrorism! - A. Jafarinoor, IranAvec un bout de papier et une plume On est capable de faire face au terrorisme.. We use a pen and a paper to face Terror.. and to spread Peace and Love all over the world - K. Basty, Tunisia

Book Description
Starting on April 22, 2002, and concluding on June 16, 2002, Louis Daniel Brodsky's Shadow War, Volume Four traces the primary sources of terrorism that erupted in America on September 11: Israel, India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. These poems describe, in bold detail, the desperation of Palestinians and Israelis trying to survive what appears to be an intractable knot of hatred and retaliation. Suicide bombers, demonstrating the depths of radical depravity, are at the center of many of these pieces, as is the Israeli military, frustrated by its inability to deter them. The specter of nuclear war looms as well, in vivid poetic accounts of the political and religious tensions assailing India and Pakistan throughout their struggle to resolve the fate of Kashmir. Brodsky also examines the fledgling government of Afghanistan, as Hamid Karzai strives, with the help of the United States, to keep civil war from regaining control of his country.
