Thought For the Day: Mankind Is More Often Conquered By Fear and Ignorance Than War

“The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs, and explosions, and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices, to be found only in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill and suspicion can destroy; and a thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all of its own for the children, and the children yet unborn.” – Rod Serling, writer of the science fiction TV series The Twilight Zone (25 Dec 1924-1975)

The next series of poems on The Twilight Zone, Season 2 this time, will begin in January until the completion of a poem for each episode of that season.
