AFZAL SHAUQ, A POET OF WONDERFUL THEMES
‘Afzal Shauq is a global poet who is using poetry as a medium for promoting Peace all over the world. Peace for him is a medicine for ailing, individuals, societies and whole nations. He is concerned with GLOBAL LOVE and considers humans as children of Adam’s family who must behave with each other as true cousins or brothers do. His only mission on earth is erasing the traces of blood –shed and restoring LOVE and PEACE instead.’
Hi friend Afzal Shauq ! here are some comments … but first of all let me dedicate my fresh poem written for your peace cause to support…Olfa
Inner and Outer Peace
(A poem dedicated to the Peace Hunter; Afzal Shauq)
Peace is such a victory of good over inherent evil
When will each person defeat his inner devil?
Peace is such a stunning yet gapped masterpiece
Where on earth will we find its precious missing piece?
Peace is such a beautiful silky white flag
When on earth will we taste its tender kiss and hug?
Peace is such a state individuals and communities hunt
When will warriors and terrorists in its presence bend?
Peace is such poets’ heart and mind- catching theme
When will it finally reign and restore the humans’ self- esteem?

I really liked this poem ‘Devils Of New Era’ because you are evoking a universal issue that of evil. You are putting into question the source of evil and inquiring whether Man, himself, is not behind it! Actually evil lies in the human nature itself, and this ephemeral life is nothing but a continual inner struggle between the good and evil parts inherent in every human being on earth. That’s why there is reward and punishment, heaven and hell… A good write and a thought -triggering poem!
I liked too your poems calling for PEACE. Actually this is a concept cherished by all nations, yet rarely are those who really grasp its meaning and promote it. Most humans are overwhelmed by their intrinsic desires, Greed, Pride, Egocentrism, Power at the expense of others whether at the individual or the national level…Well-written poems and themes.
‘A Little Princess–Breshna Kahn’Sakani Hadeel’ (Sweet Tiny Daughter Of Afzal Shauq) /Heather Wilkins’ A poetic welcome to your sweet princess! Birth is the best event one can celebrate and write about! It is one of the magical moments of Heather Wilkins in life to stop at, contemplate. Birth is where the whole MYSTERY of existence lies. But women are much more lucky to be chosen by nature and God to be the ones who enjoy/ endure this magical moment… Enjoy the arrival of your angel and observe closely the evolution of this tiny being! you will touch the Beauty of creation and the BEAUTY of GOD all through…Nice poem, language and style.
‘Beauty Pride’ A nice poem and a wonderful theme to tackle…the criteria of beauty…I invite u to read my poem: The Beauty Curse’. Regards.
‘Afghan Wounded’ Seeking treatment… Actually not only Afghan is wounded, the whole world is wounded, the heart of humanity is wounded and needs treatment! The real wound lies inside…deep in their heart…in their lack of consciousness about the ailments that are destroying their human kind…in their corrupted minds and their loss of ethics that guide their lives. A good -intentioned and talented poet, a conscious person and a Peace Hunter searching for uniting differences, merging colors, fusing races, melting social classes and bridging all gaps that may devoid the human race.
