The last place
You would think to die
In the night
And the Las Vegas sky
Outdoor concert
'Harvest Fest'
Thousands attend
Suddenly, raindrops of death
From the sky
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
An evil act
A 'Harvest of Death'
On 30 September 2020 a U.S. Court approved a settlement totaling 800 million to more than 4,400 relatives and victims of the shooting. 58 people were killed and more than 850 injured.
That is a truly shocking thing to happen. Innocent victims of a deranged gunman. There have been too many of these shootings. Why not have tighter gun control? NZ is in a similar situation since the shootings in the Christchurch back in March. The killer is in jail, but not even tried yet. Too slow.
Michael, Thank you for the comments. Our government does not take the actions needed to stop it and in the meantime the killings go on.
Oh no what a tragedy. My heart goes out to the victims. You pictured it in such a great touching way, in befitting words that your heart crafted in great poetry for sympathys sake and lament. Kudos. Soo nice to read from u again. Pls do review comment my latest poem too, titled, saints and sinners/ordinary folks
This shooting was a brutal, tragic event, especially for the innocent victims. Much stricter gun control is needed in the U.S. I think. A poem of visual, brilliant imagery.
Just heard about this today. Didn't watch the news last night, but it seems that you always do. You really are the Poet of Current Events. Well done!
