Terrorism

Intense with emotions I feel the pain, Tearful inside for the 147 students slain, Mainstream media say they struck again, Al-shabaab, what do I to my people explain, That I am innocent, that I am just a Kenyan. You struck while people were asleep, How cowardly of you, how weak, Now unfortunate, now I can't speak, For people brand me names, all day I weep. Garissa University, called for its closure, No developments, no more Northern Frontier, Sanctions, to other provinces no exposure, Oh Lord! You alone knows what's best for us. My tears will flow but will one day dry, My heart will love but will one day die, On A day my body will be lowered, Into the grave, peacefully dead. Spread the message, spread what I say, Along the passage, tell what I see, A land of blessings, no more deaths, No more terrorists and no more Shabaabs.
