Oklahoma

Oklahoma

We were all in that building
White, Black and Brown
Old and Young
Americans all
His face, we know it well
He looks like us
America’s son
The face of America
The eyes so cold, so hard
They take our breath away
Cut deep into our hearts
The Soul of America
Laid  bare for all to see
How can we understand?
How can we forgive?
We must never forget
 Our Oklahoma
