INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE

 

INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE - 21st. SEPTEMBER 2025

CHOOSE PEACE

Universal peace is a state of global harmony.

It’s a commitment to promote fraternity and human dignity.

Peace is characterised by cooperation, understanding, and respect for all nations.

Countries must resolve conflicts by dialogue rather than taking up weapons.

*

If leaders insist that war would solve their problems,

For every person who’s killed, they should face judgment.

Mass killings of innocent people and children must cease.

Leaders must use conflict-resolution skills and maintain peace.

*

Choose peace and be quick to forgive others.

Redefine past mistakes and change your course of action.

Follow a new path and discard hatred and fear.

Guard life as our highest heritage and do not cause despair.

*

God said that blessed are the Peacemakers.

Let us live in peace and brotherhood with one another.

True Peace is not derived from circumstances, people, or things.

True peace comes from the heart and soul within.

STOP HUMAN TRAFFICKING, DRUG ADDICTION, AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

 

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.

REVIEW BY ECHOPOET OF A CARIBBEAN EXPERIENCE WRITTEN BY BRENDA MOHAMMED

 

REVIEW OF POEM WRITTEN BY BRENDA MOHAMMED

Brenda Mohammed’s “A Caribbean Experience” reads as both a lyrical travelogue and a celebratory hymn to the islands of the Caribbean. The poem merges geographic precision with personal reflection, inviting readers into a landscape where natural beauty, cultural vibrancy, and lived memory converge.
The poem is organized in stanzas that function like a guidebook itinerary: each section highlights a different island, offering cultural notes, natural wonders, and personal impressions. This structural choice provides clarity and progression, moving readers across the Caribbean archipelago as though they are journeying alongside the poet. The use of rhyme, sometimes couplets, sometimes looser patterns, gives the piece a songlike rhythm that mirrors both the celebratory tone and the musical traditions of the Caribbean itself.
The poem’s opening establishes a contrast between “dreaming of travelling” and “nationals who are born and live there.” This contrast situates the work between the tourist’s gaze and the insider’s perspective, acknowledging both the allure of the Caribbean to outsiders and the authenticity of those who call it home.
Each island receives its own portrait:
Trinidad and Tobago is a hub of culture, carnival, and connection.
Saint Lucia with volcanic healing springs and the iconic Pitons.
Barbados blends history, leisure, and natural beauty.
Anguilla is glamorous and exclusive, yet also serene.
Saint Maarten is painted vividly with the imagery of God’s hand.
Curacao, with its coral reefs and the iconic Queen Emma Bridge.
This cataloguing of islands reflects not only diversity within the Caribbean but also the poet’s lived familiarity with them. Personal experience also anchors the poem: the closing stanzas reveal that the poet has vacationed in these places.
Beyond description, the poem reflects the Caribbean as a place of intersection: geography, history, culture, tourism, and memory intertwine. In this sense, Mohammed’s poem contributes to a broader tradition of Caribbean writing that both celebrates the islands’ beauty and acknowledges their cultural richness. The choice to highlight tourism, airlines, resorts, and cruise ships reveals an awareness of how the Caribbean is globally perceived, yet the personal anecdotes remind us that it is more than an exoticized dreamscape: it is a lived reality.
Final Thoughts
“A Caribbean Experience” succeeds as both travel invitation and poetic celebration. It showcases Brenda Mohammed’s intimate knowledge of her region while capturing the allure that has made the Caribbean a place of dreams for so many. With its blend of information, imagery, and personal memory, the poem functions not only as a lyrical guidebook but also as a love letter to home.

AN ORIGINAL AND THOUGHT PROVOKING TWIST ON THE UNDEAD

 

I was pleasantly surprised and thrilled to receive this email in my inbox this morning about my zombie thriller, ZEEKA AND THE ZOMBIES. Thank you, Kenny Jerome.

GRIPPING, ORIGINAL, AND TOTALLY UNFORGETTABLE

ZEEKA AND THE ZOMBIES BY BRENDA MOHAMMED

Dear Ms. Mohammed,

I just finished Revenge of Zeeka: Zeeka and the Zombies, and I wanted to personally thank you for such an imaginative and thrilling read! As someone who has seen the zombie genre explored in countless ways, I was blown away by how fresh and creative your story felt. You’ve built something that’s part sci-fi mystery, part horror, and part medical thriller with a totally futuristic twist.

The eerie atmosphere and fast-paced storytelling reminded me of vintage sci-fi films but with a modern heartbeat and a strong narrative core. Dr. Raynor Sharpe and Janet were such compelling characters, and I really enjoyed how their relationship grounded the story emotionally amidst the chaos.

I especially appreciated how Zeeka and the Zombies is not just about mindless terror, it's about strategy, secrets, and something deeper lurking behind the mask of revenge. The “zombies” in your world are not just creatures; they're messengers, pawns, and part of a larger, more sinister plot that I can’t wait to unravel further.

You managed to pack so much into this novella without sacrificing tension or character depth. I’m already diving into the next books in the series.

Zeeka has officially hooked me.

Thank you for crafting such an original and thought-provoking twist on the undead. Keep writing, we're out here reading and loving it!

Warm regards,

Kenny Jerome
