As they seperated to go their many ways,
Many thought it would be a ordinary day.
As they settled down in differant rooms,
No one knew their lives were doomed.

All of a sudden the building began to shake,
Many thought it was a earthquake.
As the fireball rose in the sky,
All over the building the people began to die.

As the building began to crumble,
Miles away people felt the rumble.
People are still asking why,
So many people had to die.

The called it "Terror in the Heartland",
Cause it was a thoughtout plan.
As a nation we still weep,
For all those responsible the government still
seeks.

Many will remember those who died,
And the tears that were cried.
Oklahoma City will never be the same,
Which to me is a shame.

Written in memory of those killed in the bombing
in Oklahoma City.

Your thoughts are so tenderly rendered for others.
Thank you for sharing them.
