Dimming the Lights by Blanca Alicia Garza




Dimming the Lights 

Cowboy boots 
Flannel shirts 
Blue jeans 
Country music 
Singing along 
To their favorite songs 
Having a good time 
Until the sound of evil 
interrupted the night 
Confusion and fear
Reflected in their faces 
People on the floor 
Protecting their precious lives
Tears and prayers in silence 
Angel feathers spreading 
Across the pavement 
Shattering the dreams of
So many young innocent souls 
Only love and compassion 
can chase darkness 
back into the abyss 
Only love, peace and hope
Can restore this broken humanity.
