Terror In The Heartland

A solitary tear rolls down my face soon mulitudes of sorrow will take it's place dreams dashed to bits famalies destroyed what mighty wake of carnage this evil plan has employed heart ache beyond measure the nerves crawl down my spine never could I measure the terror left behind blood upon my clothing the remnants of those now lost mass hysteria, brewing so many innocents to pay the cost I am here to do what I can but it will never be enough each time I see another fade it makes each moment more tough what sickness could prevail to create such a twisted plan and kill so many people here in the heartland I hope my hands helped  to save at least a part for I know this image  will forever be in my heart TEA 1996

Additional Notes:
I was in Shawnee Oklahoma for a short visit, went to a friends funeral..the day I was in Oklahoma City the explosion happened. I was a nurse so I gave three more days to help. I refused to have pictures made of me and my other friend as well, as we were not there for plublicity. I hope that this never ever happens again.
