OKC Memorial Poem

If you have ever looked for the text of poem spray painted on one of the walls (near the Oklahoma City National Memorial 'Survivor Tree') at the Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial here it is:

*I did my best to keep the original capitalisation's and punctuation

"
Team 5
4-19-1995

We Search For the truth
we seek Justice.
The Courts require it.
The Victims Cry for it.
And GOD demands it!
"

I have seen the poem in person twice (in October 2009 and October 2010). As a poet, it was my favorite part of the memorial by far.
