Active Shooter

But on a serious note,
How sad is it that we now have to have training on this matter…

Let put it out there, I don’t mind dying,
I do mind surviving all kinds of fucked up,
If you know me I’ve seen all types of things,
After all we never know when our time’s up.

It’s not that get really anxious,
But I tend worry for my kids,
It’s a pretty fucked up world,
When someone goes off the skids.

Let me explain in the way my brain can unload (no pun),
We’ve been told to run, hide or fight when we hear shooting,
Especially with the knowledge that when I work at a college,
Anyone can go crazy and straight up start executing.

But like I said - me, personally, I don’t mind me dying,
Asking myself what would I do if a man comes in spraying?
Which instincts will kick in, to fight or flight despite the hail?
Hell I don’t know maybe I’ll go down fighting and praying.

Yet my main concern has always been about my children,
What are the odds of something happening at their school,
What can I tell them? What I can show them? What I can do?
But teach them how to survive because life can be cruel.

Then I overcome my anxiety remembering I live in a society,
Where people help people because humans are generally good,
When I choose to believe in kindness and decency my worry declines,
The odds are great but I accept it as fate never knowing my time.
