Stomping out Terrorism

Our government says we are going to
stamp out terrorism and flag waving
becomes a fervent patriotic exercise.

I love my country.
I am a native born American but
but there are things, symbols,
and slogans which confuse me.

Like does stomping out terrorism include the educational terrorist who can't teach truth
because lying to the innocent among us
is easier?

Does stomping out terrorism mean
the illness of racism will be eradicated
by a cure of wisdom over ignorance.

Does stomping out terrorism mean
that everything you know
is wrong?

Is stomping out anything real of just another illusion as hatred and ignorance is apparently a terminal illness of mankind.

"...as hatred and ignorance is apparently a terminal illness of mankind." - No, I can't believe this. Hatred is TAUGHT. Ignorance is rampant because most are lazy of body and mind. But, I still choose to believe that most people are gentle of spirit - they just don't make the news.

Future: The Spiritual Story of Humanity by Glenn Martin

Histories of the world are generally written to either celebrate technology and science, or to herald doom. My book examines the path of the spirit in the onward rush.
