I divert my musings today, and instead focus on something that has really shaken me to the core, the massacre that happened in the Garissa University. I have read the dailies and various on-line posts and the stories that are just heart- wrenching. No -one should ever receive a call from a loved one to listen to their last prayers before they are shot dead. I sympathise with those injured and those currently nursing serious injuries and are in pain, both physical and emotional pain. 22 innocent CU members lost their lives doing the most noble and fulfilling tasks, PRAYING. We have lost would be teachers, accountants, economists, husbands, mothers.... the list is endless.Images of family and friends in mourning have really shaken me and the senseless brutality on innocent comrades, just like me, who lost their lives as they pursued an education,
an education that would have opened doors to a bright future for them,
an education that their families spent a fortune on,
an education they put their hearts into.
is this just senseless brutality, or is it a religious war?? The attacks have left many if not all of us 'comrades' scared stiff, with many of us planning exit and escape strategies should the unthinkable happen in the dead of the night.
Each morning dawns and,
The ONE question I do have is "UNTIL WHEN?"
Until when will innocent lives be lost in the hands of this terrorists?
Until when will live in fear in our own country?
Until when will we sit back and just move on after such an attack?
UNTIL WHEN??

.....O Lord, you hear the desire of the afflicted; you will strengthen their heart; you will incline your ear to do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed, so that man who is of the earth may strike terror no more.
