The Psychology of Terror

The Psychology of Terror By Franklin Price 12/5/2015 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

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.

Thanks for visiting and your pertinent remarks. We need to fight terrorism without becoming terrorists.
