Massacre

“Massacre of the Innocents” by Reagan Charles Cook

 

(Regarding the Las Vegas massacre)

 

deep runs depravity

seething psychosis

the fertile milieu

for ovarian evil

new hatreds are made

inside madness

a birthing of bloodlust

cold craving for murder

horrendous of scale

uncountable bullets

tear into the peace and

the pith of an innocent

neon lit evening

uncountable wounds

make the music to bleed

and the civilized

sidewalks to scream

of why and of who

turn the dry desert air

moist with terrified tears

and the desperate questions

again and again

and then over again

are repeated repeated

too many times asked

still unanswered
