today is becomming a demon of sin and fire that berates our eyes reminding us our foolishness to play God to find our lack of humanity and sense of right to be in a world less confused with whys and to counter with the actions of lies. all we have done is create a matyr a thing for others to point too and say he is the reason the reason I hate the reason I fight the reason I close my mind the reason I kill he is the one who justifys the actions I provide the sin I display for life this day. all we did today was rid ourselves of one making a few more deadly by giving them an excuse by living up to their ideals of governmental reasoning let politics be damned they won't listen to your words or prayers or tears that fall or the last breath. all we did today was let him win for he never showed emotion he never had sorrow he won by dying we lost our souls. |

yes, it is too true often I think that living with the idea of that one has done such a dastardly deed is more punishment than death...and yet, he showed no remorse, would have he ever, will he suffer for all of eternity because he did not repent with a full and repentent heart it is such a hard choice, but what the survivors had hoped to gain they did not and never can for they did not wait long enough for it to matter to him, if it ever, ever would have "revenge is mine!" saith the Lord" that is surely why it has not been achieved the only consolation that can be had...he will never do again what he did in Oklahoma City the lives lost that day have not been avenged for that is an impossible task You have written your thoughts well, Michael. |

Powerful write. In my eyes, he got exactly what he deserved. Of course, that does not compare to how he will pay when he stands in judgement before the Lord. Then justice will finally be served. All writing comes |

I dont know which way is right...and each has to decide for themselves... but in this case...in a tragedy of this magnitude ... no one "won" anything..and in the end... we all answer to one. I like the depth and compassion that you wrote this with Michael. |
