JULY 25th, 2017. WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED.


A sad night it was 

The kinda things you only see on the news .

But the news was in our own eyes 

Five of them I heard.
Bang bang bang bang bang.

Then I saw them run inside.

"Someone just shot him."

His eyes rolled over as he took his last breath.

And I knew at that moment, that it meant death.

The kinda things you only see in movies.

But this was no movie; it was real,and it happened that night; July 25th,2017.

Fright, fear, confusion.

Why would someone want to take his life?

He was no troublemaker.
He was not known to cause any strife.

He always had a funny story to tell.

He was jovial and outgoing.

He wasn't a troublemaker,
So why was his life ruined?

They did it in front of his young son.

Nobody knows why it happened.

Until now we're still asking questions, why was his life ruined?

The shooter was strange, no one knew his face.

They did it that night and then they escaped.

He lay there with his eyes rolled back as he drew his last breath.

It was on a sad night, a very sad night, that his precious life was wrecked.
