A place we frequent often
A place that we love
A place of laughter
A place of fun
A place to dance
A place to drink
A place for friends
A place that felt safe...
A night of fun and dancing had begun
Laughter filled the air
No a worry or a care
When a senseless act took place
Leaving people running for shelter or somewhere safe
Shots were fired
Many were wounded
Others weren’t so lucky, losing their lives
The safe place we call “home” went up in shambles right before our eyes
Silence grew upon the night as many were left wondering why?
Why this place, why us, why now?
We came out for a night of fun and it turned so foul
We are now left here in tears and shock
Wishing we could turn back the time on the clock
Grievance now will take place as our safe zone of drinks and laughter has now been darkened on this tragic night
I wrote this for the shooting in California. Rip to all
