Black scarved, she embraces the grieving
“As-salaam Alaikum“
The live stream does not share this

Running, running. Barefoot. Desperate to escape the SRLs and modified shotguns
“Our gun laws will change.“
Bodies piled on the footpath, rivers of blood.
“The answer lies in our humanity.“
Sirens screaming. Lights flashing
‘Harmony is possible. “
“We are one. They are us.“
