Oklahoma

For over a century I have stood brave and free and suffered many things even before my birth yet I stood I have felt the pain of pelting sand on my face as it tried to strip away my very heart and soul and I stayed and heard the beating of drums across my land and seen the trail of tears run deep into the earth and I wept Watched the buffalo roam wild on the vast plains heard the thundering hoofs of wild horses run free and I smiled Felt the rumble of black oil deep down in the earth as it gushed forth from beneath the solid ground and I watched I saw tall buildings go up from border to border and great storms take them down in a moment and I cried People stood brave and strong and eager to build Cities spring up from east to west north to south and I was proud I was born a hundred years ago in middle of the USA my people live in peace one with another I thank God Yes I am "OKLAHOMA"
