When
bangs
Rendered
legs around you
Lifeless
Unable
to support bodies
They
had carried for so long
How did
you feel?
Did you
look
Straight
into the eye
Of the
gun and terrorist
When
your turn came?
Did you
hear the bang
That
blew off your head?*To my friends and colleagues Fred Konzi and Darius Salim and the many other people who lost their lives during the Mpeketoni attack of June 15, 2014. To the many others whose lives have been lost in terrorist attacks.
PS: Our custom tells us that even if you return home to find a visitor who is about to leave, you still have to "welcome" them to the home. In this spirit, let us extend our warm greetings to President Barack Obama who has come back home to discuss among many other things the security question.
