Just stop for a second
and think. Think about death. Imagine the pain of knowing it’s your last moment. What will you go through if you knew you have three seconds of life left. Horrifying, right? Now think about someone you love; maybe your friend, or your family. Think about them dying in the most terrible way ever, imagine them going through their last moment with horror. More terrifying, right? Or the worst, imagine yourself or your loved ones being scarred for life. Think about them and yourself being horrified of everything, crying every night, quitting schools, colleges, struggling to fight back the fear.... no one should go through this right? Well humanity failed. We failed. Five months. Five months and it has happened twice. TWICE. Its not world war. Its not the dark age or stone age. Its 2015, and we have crossed the line twice. And most of us have no idea. Instead of being better, the world is becoming more rotten. 16 December 2014: Peshawar School attack. The blackest day of history. 147 school going children massacred. Not suddenly or by surprise, slowly, horridly, brutally murdered one by one. 2 April 2015: Kenya University attack. The black day relived. 147 University students. Massacred. NOT MURDERED. Lined up and executed. Do we play the blame games now? Islam did it, Judaism did it, Atheism did it... That’s what we should do now? Light candles? Spread heart wrenching and bloody pictures? Make hash tags? Make songs? Shed a tear or two? Maybe tell ourselves that it was just another murder story and move on? Because I don’t frikkin know what to do. Some one tell me how should I feel. Someone tell me I can do something about this. Its not okay. It can never be okay. I have been through this, my country has been. And now its Kenya. And I know how hard it is for them and how hard it was for us. Who’s next? What’s next? Just stop for a second and forget about it. But never forget to answer the question: What next?
