Requiem -- 7/15/2016

rrodriguez

When the truck plowed in the crowd 

hatred turned into twisted bodies, 

contorted faces, and broken limbs,

we stopped to think, take everything in,

but nothing seems to make a bit of sense,

his mind and heart instruments of death, 

destroying in its wake eighty-four innocent souls,

 many ran, others died on the street, 

fractured and mauled bodies 

victims of an ideology.
