147 Gone Too Soon-Garissa

147 brothers and sisters 147 sons and daughters 147 friends and comrades 147 hopes and dreams 147 innocents lives Killed by 147 terrorist bullets No! you are not alone A nation cries in grieve We mourn in anger counting from 1 to 147 the pain, the hurt, the anger.... God, have you forsaken us? 147 can’t just be a statistic The ripple effect affects A whole society, the world Please avenge these deaths Mourning the slain students of Garissa Univ in Kenya, soldiers and police officers. #147isnotjustanumber
