The Psychology of Terror

The Psychology of Terror
By Franklin Price

The psychology of terror
How it rears its ugly head
The dying and the wounded
Is first and foremost how it's fed

Place fear within the people
Make them think you're everywhere
Use religion as a basis
Recruit believers  that are there

Twist their way of thinking
So they believe the same as you
That the enemy are anyone
Who don't believe the way you do

Make them believe all others bad
That they want to wipe you out
Just plant the seed and it will grow
That's what terror's all about

Terror quickly gets confusing
As the fear begins to rise
The picture getting out of focus
Of who it is we should despise

Who it is that we should wipe out
To protect our family from
Carefully consider action
Or what they are we could become

Done Posting December 5, 2015 at 8:21 PM A good explanation of terror. In Germany, I had to march around my housing area and guard the home in which I lived. It is easy to take it to the terrible extreme, when it is not necessary. Franklin Price December 6, 2015 at 9:45 AM Thanks for visiting and your pertinent remarks. We need to fight terrorism without becoming terrorists.
