Forty-nine smiles made straight on the dark night in Orlando.
Forty-nine smiles met hate on the gay family's dance floor
Forty-nine smiles frozen broken never speed joy again
Forty-nine smiles slaughtered by the monster they thought they left in that dark closet so long ago.
The voices that raked their eardrums as they sought protection in the hanging coats were suddenly made manifest in an inhuman human who thought a human soul less valuable than a round of ammunition.
A family, a community, a nation and a world all paused. Their brows furrowed. What do we do when the monster of the closet becomes all to real. Do we hide? Do we retreat? Do we let his hatred burrow into our hearts and paralyze our smile?
No. We send the monster back to the infernal depths from whence he came. And we smile. We smile to show him he may hurt us for a season but we will crush him.
From now until the end of time when hated of those different seeks to crush the smile we will fight back. We will love. And we will unite.
In the closet we were alone, with only the monster to keep our space, in the world we are surrounded by brightness love and peac
