Members of THE HOW TO WRITE FOR SUCCESS LITERARY FORUM, of which Brenda Mohammed is the Founder, have raised their pens against the evils of human trafficking, drug addiction, and domestic violence.
Human trafficking is a serious violation of human rights. It is the act of recruiting, transporting, transferring, harbouring, or receiving individuals through force, fraud, or coercion for exploitation. This exploitation may include forced labour or sexual slavery.
We need to highlight the detrimental effects of drugs. These include pervasive violence, societal disintegration, public health challenges, substance addiction, and economic exploitation.
Domestic violence is the mistreatment of one family member or intimate partner by another. Victims of abuse are men, women, or children. Abuse can be emotional, physical, or financial.
I congratulate all participants of the How to Write for Success Literary Forum for raising their voices in support of this third volume of BREAK THE SILENCE.
It is our hope and prayer that this anthology, which has been edited and published by the Founder, Brenda Mohammed, will raise awareness of the darkness overshadowing humanity and will move the hearts of those responsible for such evil deeds.
I pay special tribute to Florabelle Lutchman, Chief Literary Ambassador of the forum, for writing a stirring foreword. I also commend the Director of the forum, Fiona Gobin, for preparing the Certificates of participation for all poets.
Gabriel Weah, Literary Ambassador for Liberia and International Artist, created the stunning book cover, and we applaud him for his excellent work.
Here is my poem on Human Trafficking.
STOP HUMAN TRAFFICKING
An evil invading this world is child and human trafficking
The stories you hear about this are indeed heartbreaking.
All human beings belong to God and are His Creation
No one has the right to persecute and enslave. them.
Money, the root of all evil, is the purpose of this evil
human trade.
For those involved in this criminal act, billions of
dollars are made.
Human life means nothing when filling their bank accounts
with money.
They profit from ripping children away from their families,
heartlessly.
Trafficking is used for forced labour and sexual exploitation,
It is rampant worldwide with very low detection.
Those living in poverty, lacking education, and without
legal status,
Tend to be the prime targets of evil traffickers.
Those in governmental authority need to take serious
action,
To stop the human trafficking trade in every nation.
Poets worldwide should lift their pens to voice their
opinions.
It’s time to rid our countries of such a devastating
problem.
