Odius to a "Hero" - Tim McVeigh
Odious to a “Hero”
Ring the bells of martyrdom,
And let the anthems play,
A “hero” marched to face his death,
That “hero”, Tim McVeigh
He was the master of his fate,
The captain of his soul,
He “bravely” faced a sterile death,
Apparently; his goal.
He made his point for all to see,
The government has flaws,
And so to point these out to us,
He flaunted human laws.
This soldier of misfortune dared
To make a statement bold,
And coldly calculated death
Was worth what he would mold.
Unable in his twisted mind
To face the foe direct
He loaded up a rental truck
And then delivered death
The faceless foe was now defined
He’d hit the government,
His act of vengeance so refined
He tucked his tail and went
A gaping hole, and silent screams
That echo still today,
Of children in a nursery
“Side damage” to McVeigh
So now he’s gone, he’s paid the price
For his six years of fame
His victims are anonymous
But we all know his name
And so the story makes an end
There’s little more to tell
Except to give one last salute
Dear Tim, PLEASE ROT IN HELL!!!
