The Day I Died at Mandalay Bay Was Sunday by Aung Way
\n<\/b><\/p>\n

The day I died at Mandalay Bay was Sunday<\/p>\n

Today is Monday<\/p>\n

I died a day ago<\/p>\n

O! Las Vegas<\/p>\n

The day I died at Mandalay Bay was Sunday<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sunday night<\/p>\n

Was it a starry, starry night, last night<\/p>\n

Did I remember Vincent VanGogh, last night<\/p>\n

Did Jack London or Hemingway come and join us, last night<\/p>\n

The day I died at Mandalay Bay was Sunday<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sun down<\/p>\n

Stars up<\/p>\n

My heartbeat stopped at 10:05<\/p>\n

That night<\/p>\n

Ten minutes of terror<\/p>\n

Under the heavy bullet rain<\/p>\n

O! Last vegas<\/p>\n

I died in your arms<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Music is power<\/p>\n

But music was bloody, Sunday<\/p>\n

Songs were bloody, Sunday<\/p>\n

Guitars had broken into pieces, Sunday<\/p>\n

The day I died at Mandalay Bay was Sunday<\/p>\n

Sunday looked at Sunday death<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

O! Love Vegas<\/p>\n

Before I died, Saturday<\/p>\n

Did I post something wrong on my Facebook<\/p>\n

Did I sing a country song in my bedroom<\/p>\n

Friday or\/and Thursday<\/p>\n

Did I listen to Bob Dylan<\/p>\n

He was and still is my hero<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

O! Las Vegas<\/p>\n

The day I died at Mandalay Bay was Sunday<\/p>\n

This is Monday morning<\/p>\n

I think I see Woody (Guthrie), father of country music<\/p>\n

Weeping among the dead<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Day in<\/p>\n

Day out<\/p>\n

Some days may arrive<\/p>\n

Officials come and pray<\/p>\n

Debate gun control, so far<\/p>\n

Just words<\/p>\n

The day I died at Mandalay Bay was Sunday<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Loudly<\/p>\n

One of the dead stands up<\/p>\n

And shouting, repeatedly<\/p>\n

\u201cMore guns, more homicides\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cStop gun culture\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo gun, no homicide\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cStop gun society\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Moon on<\/p>\n

Moon off<\/p>\n

Tuesday, Wednesday will arrive<\/p>\n

Officials will wait and see<\/p>\n

The gun law<\/p>\n

They will make America gun again<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

O! Last Vegas<\/p>\n

The day I died at Mandalay Bay was Sunday<\/p>\n

Who said, \u201cPure evil,\u201d who said<\/p>\n

This is not watering the flowers in the garden<\/p>\n

This is deadly mass shooting rampage<\/p>\n

This is domestic terrorism<\/p>\n

This is domestic attack<\/p>\n

This is domestic violence<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

O! Vegas<\/p>\n

Does a citizen have \u201clicence to kill\u201d<\/p>\n

Do people have \u201clicence to kill\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

O! Vegas<\/p>\n

The entire desert is burning<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

O! Lost Vegas<\/p>\n

The day I died at Mandalay Bay was Sunday<\/p>\n

Aftermath blood flood<\/p>\n

I strongly blame NRA,<\/p>\n

National Rest-in-peace Association<\/p>\n
