Duck down, nobody moving
What can we do to keep the shooters
From shooting, what’s happening?

I saw a shooter on the TV
And he looked just like me
White like me, blue eyes like me
A guy like me
It almost always is
Guess I’d be the type
To kill women and kids

If I had a worse family life
And psychosis
Autism, narcissism
Another diagnosis
Access to weapons
And the training to use them
If I hadn’t clicked stop
On the autoplay YouTube links

Even still I think
I understand entitlement
Everything is organized
To benefit me
And if it never did
I’d feel violent
Probably start rioting
Like, just to remind you I exist

Duck down, nobody moving
What can we do to keep the shooters
From shooting, what’s happening?

I am no lone wolf
I am a sheep
Put me in the pen and I’ll bleat
Shoot me in the head and I’ll bleed
Everybody’s got a
Need to be seen
A need to be accommodated
And welcomed in, as if

We could stop a killer
By just being their friend
If we spell their name right
On their Starbucks blend
If we empathize and try hard
To comprehend or provide
All the incels with girlfriends
Cause then they’d be happy, right?

That was sarcastic, the kind
Of solution that ends
With your friends in the casket
Each small kindness
Like a flower on the grave
Emotional labour, alone
Will not save you

Duck down, nobody moving
What can we do to keep the shooters
From shooting, what’s happening?
Duck down, nobody moving
What can we do to keep the shooters

From shooting, what’s happening?

We have tried
To be nice so long
Isn’t it time to talk
About what’s really wrong?
