AT MANDALAY BAY ON THE VEGAS STRIP
AT A COUNTRY MUSIC CONCERT
FROM THE 32ND FLOOR A SHOOTER
OPENED FIRE ON THE CROWD


THE CONCERT GOERS RAN FOR COVER
THE BULLETS SOUNDED OUT LOUD


OUR WORLD HAS NOW BECOME VERY DANGEROUS
WITH OUR INNOCENCE TAKEN AWAY
THE VIOLENT ATTACKS NOW TAKING PLACE
HAVE BECOME OUR JUDGEMENT DAY



WHAT CAN WE DO TO STOP THIS EVIL
FOR INNOCENT LIVES ARE THE COST
BUT THESE LONE WOLFS STILL PERSIST
AND INNOCENT LIVES ARE LOST



THE FEAR AND TERROR THAT THEY SPREAD
WILL NEVER DESTROY OUR HEART
BECAUSE OUR PASSION FOR LOVE AND LIFE
OF OUR COMMUNITY WILL NEVER EVER PART  


OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH
THE FAMILIES OF THIS EVIL ACT.
THIS IS AN ACT OF EVIL THAT HAS HAPPENED. THE GUN LAWS HAVE TO BE CHANGED IN AMERICA BUSH FAILED OBAMA FAILED CLINTON FAILED CAN TRUMP INTRODUCE LAWS THAT WILL PRESERVE LIFE.
