Touched By Terrorism

Touched by terrorism


T ortured, traumatized touched by terrorism
O utrageous onslaughts obliterate innocence
U nprecedented Ultra-extremist atrocities
C auterized consciences create cataclysm
H emorrhaging  humanity hopelessly held hostage.

Lin Lane Date: 6/27/2017 5:35:00 PM The evils being committed are outrageous atrocities, and John, you and I are aware of some that are touching us very closely. Your alliteration adds to the symbolism of your message, and it was done with great tact.
