21 years ago
a blast shook the state
Seventh grade and TV'S were off in school
What was wrong?
We became anxious
somethings off

Got home and my mom was crying
She's like me, we don't cry
I was scared
I learned a new word that day
Domestic terrorism

Domestic terrorism
Two words that should never be together
Two words that killed 168 souls
Two words that took the lives of babies

Two
       Words......


He thought it would ******* us
******* the heartland

We showed him
We became stronger
More vigilant
Using our second ammendment to the fullest
Pulling together in any crisis

This is the Heartland
This is the Heartbeat of America
Together we Stand
UNITED WE OVERCOME!

Domestic terrorism
Two words

Two
      Words


We will never forget
**WATCH OUT
21 years ago Oklahoma had a tragedy. We remember. We still mourn. We are stronger for it. We overcame. I am proud to call myself an Oklahoman!
