Malaysia Mourns

 Painful Loss

For a nation to understand and accept tragedies within a span of a few months is difficult.

To lose more than 500 lives in 2 air mishaps within that period is historical and unheard of.

Yet, the nation still has to succumb to it.

Today, Malaysia receives her victims' bodies from Amsterdam.

The bodies have come home; albeit not all; yet.

 The scripts and clips from Malaysian News Channels are heartbreaking.

Even the hardest will be affected ; cries and sighs may not be heard but definitely felt.

The children in schools were called to pay that respect due them.

They understood the agony and the pain.

For once; they kept very quiet and observed that minute of silence.

 

 Teachers gathered together for that prayer of condolence and comfort.

We remembered the ones left behind and know that they have to bear it all.

We also pray that the living relatives will keep fond memories and be strong.

They say time heals all wounds; easier said than done but they will be steadfast we pray. 

 

How does Malaysia fathom the lost plane?

How can those in it be forgotten?

Where are they?

Grief.

Today we remember the deceased and living.

To the decease

May they rest in peace

To the living

Be strong.

The nation mourns.
