A tourist goes in through the door
Not a window he crashed like a boar
In her pocket, a phone
On head, wears no bone
And what would he need a bat for?
No walkie-talkie or ammo
Probably not wearing cammo
No holstered gun
Bear spray, he has none
Officer’s head, does not ram-oh
In offices does not trespass
Has no need for a gas mask
Confederate flag
She does not drag
Or use to break through the glass
Tourist or terrorist? You decide
The evidence cannot be denied
The horror was profound
The truth must be found
They can run but they cannot hide
