We
shudder
(and
we should)
to
hear a tale of
mindless
violence
inflicted
on an innocent
who
should be safe
within
his parents' selfless arms
And
yet
when
met with
less-than-pleasant
fact
of
tiny humans, full-formed,
torn
in bits
from
their own mothers’ souls,
we
shrug, untouched, and smugly smile,
“choice.”
