i know its not KS related😕

but another big incident has become a part of our lives.. it seems..d world is just not a safe place anymore.. join me in a silent prayer for the 33 (students/professors) that lost their lives today at Virginia tech.

and the 29 or so that r injured😭

Fear of a loss

Ring, ring
That was phone,
Mum answered
In a moment
Lost in time
my mum was gone
Granny on the couch
Nervous, anxious, fearful

A Quiet, deathly silence
Filled the emptiness


We were told to pray
I dared not ask why
Praying, wondering, still dared not ask
Then the memory, gripping
Daddy hadn't come home that day
Fearing the unknown
Dared not question
Fear of hearing
Fear of knowing
Fear of loss

Ring, ring
Granny answered,
Questions, silence, gripped by fear
Bravely, she spoke what we dared not ask
What we feared we would hear
Daddy was gone
We lost him
In the silence of this night
He passed on, quietly
As he had passed through this life
Through our lives

The silence continued
Time had stopped
The heavy quietness
The ominous silence
Overwhelmed my senses

Fear
Loss
My fear of loss
No longer a fear
A reality now

Yes, thank you Navs. It's such a scary thing to have happened. I freaked out when I heard it as I wasn't sure where Rooj went cuz she lives around there.

May God rest all their souls. I wish all those who are injured a speedy recovery.

College campuses will never be same again.

When I heard it, my mouth was open and I was shocked. Its true, this world has become an unsafe area. Now I am scared to back on campus. But to all those involved in this tradegy, may God give them strength. To those who lost their lives, may God bless them.

This news is really shocking. May God give strength to the families of those innocent students and professors that were killed. And I am wishing a speedy recovery to those injured.

So are right anam - college campuses are not safe any more. It's scary.
