Matthew Anish Poet Verse

Another Mass Shooting

This time in Jersey City
Another mass murder 
Was it a hate crime? 
At least six souls have gone to meet their Maker 
Personally, I wish these horrors would stop happening 
The USA is a violent country 
And the killing took place near my nephew's new home 
He moved to Jersey City after getting married at City Hall 
TERRIFYING!

Jennifer Proxenos December 15, 2019 at 11:44 AM The world is a mess Mathew - I often wish there was a quiet island that one could escape to, no such thing, we have become a global village , killing has become a game, what will our maker say when he meets the ones that pulled that trigger? Compliments of the season to you and yours.
