#TWENDE GARISSA
To me this day 02/04/2016 is not just a day after the fools day but a point in time when i remember all the fools who blew off the candles of 147 students at garissa university college,it reminds me of a point in time when i was striken to my core...a moment when i looked at images of dead people and my heart bled not because they were dead but because they were killed..
As i find comfort in this piece of paper as i slice of junks of tears that has been but a habit to my eyes am still as broken as i was an year ago.i fail to understand why anyone in there right mind would actually invade a university,a hub for the leaders,actually i would want to call it a hospital for the knowledge-hungry people,and a place where the future finds seldom and shut that down as if it only matters to the heavens that they existed..
Am still a broken man,but below this burden of etremism and under the tears of disbelief besides the thorns of pain i still smile with a tear drop because heroes were made and angels they became,am a happy man because the wheelchair did not cripple them,death never took them away and bullets did not end there lives today i look upon the sky with hopye and admiration of a people who became saints because of the sins of the others, i look at a nation that was strengthened because of our weaknesses am proud that i have a nation amd i cover a tear of sadness with the conquest of a soul...
Dear #147 today i still cry as i did when you were all blown off but the difference is i cry not because you have lost your lives but because you have achieved eternity, i cry because am still here while some sychopaths are still out there counting there magazines,i cry because my turn is drawing near but above all i celebrate you heroism, i celebrate a student that died for this nation and though back in class your desks remain unoccupied,though at home your beddings still remain freshly untouched, though between our fingers your spaces remain unoccupied,in my heart your candles are so bright that it blindens me...in my heart you leave forever.
Thank you for being our source of strength.
In life you have died but in our hearts you live forever.
