49 Lives
A Tribute poem dedicated to the victims of Pulse Night
June 12
320 in the attendance
Came to dance on a Saturday night
Latin night
All the beautiful people
Having fun like it’s the summer sun beaming on them
Music singing to them
Inspiring them to be themselves
Free to love for the ones they love
Nearly 2 am
A strange man
A mad man filled with anger and hate
He tames as live baits
Ricochet
Taking aim fired shots
One by one
Shot down
Going down
Taking their lives
They died like flies
49 lives
Dying on the dance floor
June 12th, 2025
Nearly ten years
Put us to tears
Hurt like spears pierced to the chest
Now they are at rest
Like we were still there
That unfortunate night
There were 49 lives
Taking away
