Matthew Anish Poet Free verse

Darkness In Orlando

From what I see on television 
Darkness has descended on Orlando 
Death cries filled the air 
Sorrow became the order of the day 
We don't yet know 
If it was a "lone wolf "
or a terrorist plot 
We must  mourn 
for the deaths of those who were 
only thinking 
of  seeking some weekend enjoyment
Our land has once more felt the sting 
of a murderer 
Now - LET THE HEALING BEGIN

Andrea Dietrich June 13, 2016 at 2:56 PM almost always it's the act of an idiotic man man. There are way too many of them running loose and we have GOT to do something about it (for example, not sell assault rifles. GEEEZ)

Afolabi Muideen June 13, 2016 at 5:58 AM Thank for painting this informative and wretched piece....A.M.

Demetrios Trifiatis June 13, 2016 at 4:31 AM What a horrific act of hatred and ignorance! It has hit the whole world hard into its soul! A great tribute to those who have fallen. May God embrace them for eternity! God bless you dear, Matthew for writing it!
