MONSTA

“MONSTA”

WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED…

It sounded at first like a 4th of July
fireworks.
Perhaps a military salute to the “Flag”
noiseworks.
But...Oh, no...people started screaming,
“Get up, run! Get up, run!’”
Pow...Pow firing bullets at innocent by-
standers from a high-powered gun.

You saw...abandoned baby strollers and
empty lawn chairs.
Some with half-consumed drinks in cup-
holders.
A child’s bicycle was discarded along a
street curb.
Everybody lined up along a sidewalk to
watch a 4th of July parade.

People scrambling for their lives every-
where to stay alive.
There was blood….more blood on every-
one who survived.
A cheerful-looking balloon left alone in
the grass that said, “God Bless America.”
There are no words for this kind of…
“MONSTA!”
