A Villanelle about the mass killing in El Paso, Texas
Yesterday Was in the Past

Rhyming Poetry Contest contest entry
The picture is of the memorial erected within hours of the mass killing. The flags of the United States of America, Republic of Mexico and Federal Republic of Germany are flown in honor of all the victims who were citizens from those three countries. The crosses are for the twenty-two victims who were killed in the attack.
After a long night of sorrow and prayers for the victims and family, I had to say something. This young NAZI, Patrick Crusius, in his Manifesto, blames the ills of unemployment and crime in the United States of America on Latin Americans. The instigation for those wrong thoughts, I hope, did not come from his parents and teachers.
