“Our Truth”: Calling for Peace thru Sanity in Sobriety

“Nine-Eleven,” that used commercial planes to bomb out of existence the twin towers of World Trade Center in New York, was a heinous crime of unparalleled proportions. It happened on September 11, 2001, and many American voices, including official U.S. government pronouncements instantly built up a campaign that cried for blood. Washington threatened to retaliate with all its might against terrorism and all suspected of being supporters and sympathizers of supposed terrorists.

The crime was said to be so atrocious it purportedly justified action even without having to prove guilt on the part of anyone. Psy-war flew thick as the smoke at the crime scene cleared. Entire citizenries were being agitated to take the side of American grief and indignation. Those who dared to publicly doubt the official story were suspected and targeted for harassment.

But Humankind was not about to be drawn into a stampede of hate. Peace-loving people around the world, including many Americans, held marches and rallies, along with group prayer and discussion sessions, for peace to hold against the fires of collective fury.

And as the ancient poetic future-seer Nostradamus came to be quoted in an apparently counterfeit prediction to heighten the panic, a group of peace-lovers in the Philippines brought to life a counterpart character crying out loud for keeping our sanity in sobriety. That call, in ten quatrains, was Our Truth. And his name was “Nostraverus.”

..........Let’s read and discuss those insightful quatrains of that collective poem in this web page: http://saniblakas.faithweb.com/NOSTRAVERUS.htm. And learn valuable timeless lessons about peace and its much needed defense.
