They’ve labeled him a demon
Was it in his father’s *****?
Can there be any redeeming
For one who came through steaming
Mowing innocent people down
On a Christmas parade ground?
Over there in Waukesha Wisconsin
Don’t his ramblings sound like nonsense?

What went on in his head?
He left six people lying dead
But no one’s visited him he said
At least that’s what I thought I read
He left countless people wounded
And otherwise obtunded
Is he crazy?
You might have assumed it

Police haven’t discovered his motive
You see his mind is a locomotive
Which I guess could be denotive
Of his not being emotive
And despite his reasoning
What he did is an outright sin
Can the church now say amen?
Come on y’all I know you can

His mother tried hard to explain
From his childhood he’s been insane
Something’s clearly wrong with his brain
Though the fact of the matter will remain
Six people needlessly lost their lives
While their killer still survives
And the psychologists take deeper dives
His case is one for the archives
