THE CRY OF MY PEOPLE.

"Wuuuuwii! Wuuuuwii! Wuuuuwii!" This is the chilly scream that pierces the air as mothers', fathers',  brothers', sisters' cry & wail having witnessed the massacre their loved ones by the malicious beings who took hostage a learning institution. In the global news the killing of students at the Garrisa University has spread like wild fire, consuming all that are in its path. In which more than 147 people were killed by the terrorists who decided to extinguish their young lives. 

I can but only imagine the pain which such a loss has occasioned, as the loss of a loved one is no small thing, as it tears at the very fabric that holds one sanity together. Why is life so unfair? What is it about heavy human loss that ignites the government to take action when it is too late? Claims by the government officials that at least 600 lives were spared, has nothing to hold water with. What the hell is that? The 147 lives lost were of someone's son & daughter & yet the officials have the audacity to state they did what they could, that is just utter rubbish. 

I believe if the threats had been taken seriously the number of casualties would have been fewer or even none at all. One thing I do know is that prevention is better than cure.  We are not one & don't chant those words if you do not understand their true & valuable meaning. Am at a loss, when did we become such uncouth human beings with no trace of humanity left in us, laying waste to all that is before us. When did lives become so meaningless & not worth saving? 

I guess priorities have changed over what is important & needing our attention. The government keeps on saying, "we have everything under control". Is this a joke! So many lives lost, blood stained walls, bleeding & mutilated bodies laying where they last took refugee a& yet officials can boldly claim we have things under control. Did you see the kind of pain felt by mothers & fathers tear stained, broken, disoriented realizing that their only child will no longer be joining them. 

We are meant to live as a single unit yet we lash out at each other with such animosity, terminating lives like as if this is such an ordinary thing. I will light a candle for the ones who have lost so much & those whom we have lost, the traumatised who went through the worst kind of ordeal they could have ever imagined. I will say a prayer that God helps us, as those in power are only there to fatten their bellies and not do their job. My condolence to all those who lost a loved one, may God give you strength in this trying and difficult times.
