September 11 was a blot in the history of mankind. This poem is against war and for the principles of applied spirituality which espouses the casue of humanity rather than any single religion.
The world on the whole continues to bemoan September Eleven;
As if before that, the earth was some heaven.
The events of September eleven were a blot on mankind’evolution;
It indicated that mankind has not progressed beyond the cavern.
The information revolution and mass communication
should have enabled a religious break-even.
It could have heralded a religious and political revolution.
Art and sports bind people together, we need many a Beethoven;
One has to be as spiritually agile to ensure
that the world everywhere is truly cosmopolitan
What we need is a spiritual James bond;a spiritual 007
To investigate into, contrary to what it preaches,
the religious intent behind September eleven.
Whether an Asian, European, African or American,
Whether Manhatten or any other nation, new ways are needed to enlighten
If there is one legacy that will always be attributed
to the events of September eleven
Applied spirituality needs to be as successful as applied science
i. e the world badly needs to straighten.
Humanity must be the sole religion to avoid another September 11.

Never will happen, but a lovely thought. Religion is bulldogs arguing for thier position, assuming to speak for God. God is having a heartattack as we speak. Even Plato lamented the corruption of the world. [smiles] Fine work. It was a pleasure to read.
Our culture has taught us to believe in many ideas which aren't actually real. Exposing these illusions allows us to recover the power to live our lives according to our deepest desires.
