Stephen Gill condemns terrorism in his poetic way in The Flame

The Flame, a long poem of one hundred and fifty-two pages, is about the destruction caused by maniac messiahs. Terrorism, which is born in the diabolical minds of religious, political and financial fanatics, is probably the single most dangerous enemy to world peace. What a blessing to have poets like Dr. Stephen Gill, who boldly declares through their poetic art about human responsibilities to create and maintain peace in the world. The Flame-- Dr. Gill’s latest book, is a perfect example of that. Filled with provoking questions, this long poem challenges to see humanity through the eyes of the Divine love. The Flame unfolds a tragic story that reveals the diabolic work and how, by igniting the flame of peace, humans can defeat the monster of terrorism. . The darkness can be defeated with the light of revelation and grace. Silence is not the answer. Voices together with Dr. Stephen Gill , should condemn the demon of terrorism to establish the state of lasting peace.
