Perhaps the little girl's erroneous spelling of Terrorist as errorists says it all. Pity the little children - pity all who dwell in the no man's land of a mad man's cruel ambition.
But like that girl, I'm also afraid of errorists. Moreso than terrorists.
To err and realize it is human. To err and think God is working through you is to be an errorist.
Thank you for all comments, including the shockingly shallow "...humor!!...LOL...!!!...cheers". (The repetitions in my poem are perfect).
About humor, yes, children are amusing. This is a humane touch, that's all.
The child cannot accept that the heinous crimes are committed on purpose, hence she believes that the word must be "errorist". This way she can somehow explain the world around her.
Thank you, it's nice to have readers :),
