The poems focus on the lives of the militants and the pain and brutality that they have to undergo.<ref name="cd" /> "These are very different kind of poems. They have the smell of the gunpowder yet at the same time express great love for humanity. They certainly evoke a strange feeling.", said Dr Goswami, who was instrumental in getting the poems published.<ref name="ab" />
