What happened?
Tell the truth.
Were you scared? untrained?
Did someone give an order,
and tell you all to wait?
You held back parents wanting in
to look for babies, rescue them,
or pull their bodies from the wreckage
of an AR-15.
You told a story to the news
of a ghost security guard,
We now hear that was “fabrication”
and no one takes the blame.
Tell the truth,
create the scene,
what plans were being made
when children bled out in that room
behind the barricade,
You thought he would negotiate,
You’re human, we understand.
Who was the one who took him down?
and how did he get in?
We need to know what happened,
We know you did your best,
a teenager killing children is not something
we expect.
We know that it was chaos,
First responders everywhere,
Border patrol, FBI,
but children were still in there,
Come forth and tell your story,
Where were you, what did you see?
because nineteen innocent little hearts
stopped beating needlessly.
