So for our new podcast (check it out!), I’m ending each episode with a poem that pertains to each topic we discuss. For tonight’s recording, we’re going to talk about terrorism and the many ways people view it, as well as a historical account of how its evolved. Below is the poem for Episode 4: An Open Discussion About Terrorism.
This Terrifying World
Chaos, madness, this deafening place
When quality of life is sadly debased
Around any corner lie those that await
Who wish only harm, that death is your fate
Perhaps for a God, an ideal, or revenge
Perhaps for their loved ones, the dead they avenge
I fear that this terror shall oft persevere
Until the day dawns when we all lend an ear
A time when the world sets pause to the hate
Where perspective arises, and opens the gate
The gate of our minds, our thoughts and our views
When people become people…our difference diffused
How the World Should Work
