#thousandoaksmassshooting
Another volcano erupts
Masked as a mass shooting
Thousand Oaks is disrupts
By a gunman executing
Twelve innocent lives taken
Bloodshed rocked the mountain
Tremors of tears are foresaken
As the sadness mounts in
In the afterglow of the sorry night
A hero officer is lauded
For responding with all his might
His ultimate sacrifice duly applauded
As many of the bar patrons ran in fear
While smokebombs and bullets sprayed the air
The evil gunmen with his calculated stare
Left the victims without a prayer
In the aftermath sits cratered questions
With depths far reaching as to why
Many innocents lives lost, echo
suggestions
Their indelible voices still cry
For we're resigned to sitting in all normacy
With no foresight on stopping the flow
As another mass shooter festers in dormacy
And this is so sickening to watch it blow
