so many ask why

Mugsdaddy

the reaper came to call today he stayed so long with little to say 

500 Souls his name they did call his belly full he didn't take them all 

A lunatic monster showing his might over and over shots ring out in the night 

Victims and Heroes all stood as one wouldn't leave each other side till the terror was done 

Blood filled the streets as the sun rose in the sky the monster lay dead and we can only ask why

    There is much debate here in the UK where we find the US gun laws beyond comprehension. Lets hope an answer is found soon but I doubt it. This is a super commentary on this tragic event.

    Strong write about an appalling atrocity. I agree with Michael about the gun laws in the US.

    You made think of a post I forgot
    Stuggled to find it, nearly give up
    Then I found it, how silly of me
    It's called pen warriors needed
    And that you just became too me
    After reading your words
    I'd like all weapons to disappear!

    Another sign of the (end?) times. Good post, Mugs.

    Mugs, your short poem about this horrible, senseless tragedy in Las Vegas shows both the pain and the heroism. What makes a man do something like this? Thank you for posting it!
