4.19.95: a father's rant
the murrah building:
bombed, now, fifteen years ago...
I had to tell my daughter!!
schools are not teaching
even the simplest of facts:
self-fulfilling prophecies;
dooming our nation,
dooming this entire world
to re-live what they've left out.
i am telling her,
taking her hand, walking her
through the cycles we repeat:
first at ruby ridge,
again at waco, texas:
the government made mistakes.
tim mcveigh was there
when the davidians burned.
watching, blaming, sowing hate.
two years to the day
he reaped his hatered's harvest
in oklahoma city...
