A poem from my 1992 collection, 'The Prophecy of Christos'. Governments and media behave today as if terrorism had just been invented with 9/11. Those of us who can remember the 60s, 70s and 80s know this is not the case. Terrorists of all kinds were at work all over the place - Northern Ireland, Italy, Germany, Canada, South America, the Middle East. etc. Count von Spreti was a German Ambassador in Guatemala. He was kidnapped and shot dead in 1970. Wiki entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_von_Spreti#_ref-1
