Connecticut Life Cuts

I wish I could enter into a murderer's mind to know what drives him to kill, even children. I slept on a broken heart, feeling for those families which have been shattered by the loss of their young kids whose lives were cut shot before they could even start. The innocence they wore was too colourful to imagine them dying at such a tender age as though they were the world's greatest sinners. It is so sad. The young man ended up killing himself too after wiping away those little angels in Freetown like he was on a murder mission. His mother then found dead when investigations begin. Something must have gone wrong. It's a riddle which no one might be able to crack. 27 people just lost their lives because of someone's uncontrollable anger. Not fair by all standards. He did what they do in the movies when someone realizes that there is no point of living after killing so many people - shot himself, so no one could be asked questions nor get a court hearing and get prosecuted in the long run, all gone with the wind.

I can only imagine what the parents of those children are going through. I remember the sort of pain my mother was in when we lost our young sister of five months old. I was too young to understand the pain of death but those scenes have never left my mind. I wonder how people are supposed to cope with that. You could go into depression unknowingly. I watched as the US President, Barack Obama, shed tears while giving his remarks on the incident. I guess if it would have been Kenya, you would never have seen Kibaki for three months and no one would seem to be serious about it apart from the politicians who would visit the casualties in hospital and leave them with nothing. It's been our culture, and we are used to it.

How do you even move on from that?  Suddenly you are all over the news and the cute children you used to see around are no more. That school will never be the same again. My heart goes out to them. There just needs to be an improvement in the way we treat family; listen to them more, grow warm to each other, and find ways of solving problems without leaving them to roll over. We should not take anyone for granted. Some people cannot bare it. Hurt people hurt people. The consequences could be dire as in this case. No one wants to lose a life out of the distress of someone they do not even know.

Only God can save this world.
