Wrapping a Little Terrorist in Love


              Long before he donned the garb of terror
                  in his twisted mind, ‘no error’
               
              He lay in swaddling clothes in his loving mother’s arms
                  a purveyor of charm ~ tender ~ incapable of harm

hard to think of a terrorist as once being a babe in some mother's arms.
