Abstract

In recent years, concurrent with the culmination of injustice and systematic discrimination in Afghanistan, the poetry of justice-seeking has also soared. Especially when a group of citizens were deprived of their rights due to the change in the direction of the "Totap" project, there were massive demonstrations in Kabul and other cities of Afghanistan. The second demonstration in May, 2015 in Kabul, was subjected to suicide attacks due to the negligence of the government, and 87 elites and educated people were martyred and many were injured.
The poetry collections "Demands Fresh Blood from Us Everyday", "Scream for the Light" and "Verses of Light" were compiled and published immediately after the second bloody event of May. There are more than 140 poets, living in Afghanistan or abroad, whose poems have been collected in these collections. In addition to these poets, the poems of some Persian poets and an American poet have also been included in these collections.
