Madness of This Kind

Vegas grieves dark times
                      None of us can understand
                          Madness of this kind

Why? A relevant question always in times of tragedy, Heidi. No mystery to me: the old, wise black proverb --- the devil made 'em do it! Ty for the somber pondering, my dear friend. Love and joy always.

The man was insane that did this, that's the only way to describe the situation...insanity was everywhere within him! It was awful what happened, I feel for each and every person that was impacted by this horrendous event! Your poem certainly illuminated the craziness of the whole thing, as you said, "None of us can understand/Madness of this kind" Perfectly said! Great Work!!

I hope we never "understand" it. It's evil!

This keeps happening--madness is the apt way to describe it, Heidi!

Yes, this does keep happening and this type of increase is leading to much trouble for our country. Thank you Vijay :)
