    "content": "brightened by the last fires of a tribe. They sent surveyors and builders who cut that tree planting in its place a huge senseless cathedral of doom. If you saw the smoke billowing out of the Westgate Mall yesterday, you got a feeling that if, indeed, Westgate was being burnt down, we would, subsequently, see a huge senseless cathedral of doom. We do not want this nation to be turned into a huge senseless cathedral of doom. We want this nation to stand up as a nation of hope, inspiration and of men and women who have faith in their future. Indeed, we have lost such a distinguished poet and diplomat. One of his most memorable book was written in 1971 called This Earth myBrother . He wrote this book while teaching in the States. Indeed, it captures the crises of the human race. As some of us have said today, we may be seeing human beings without a conscience who can take guns and kill babies. That is someone who has lost the conscience of a human being. My brothers and sisters, this earth must not be left to men and women without a conscience to drive us towards a huge senseless cathedral of doom. We need to seize our destinies in our hands, defend the human race and look after God’s creation. This is because God knew that he had created man and woman in His own image. Therefore, man and woman should not betray that image by losing the conscience of a being human. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is this conscience of a human being that, I believe, we, as a nation, will use to defeat terror. I beg to support."
