I just wonder what would the KKK or Nazis say when they are told your ancestors were BLACK from the dark continent known as Africa. Just think about it for a minute. Peace, Love & Unity.

I wrote this poem exactly a year ago but unfortunately I had to change certain words and lines and the reason I chose to post it today is because it put a smile on my face. I only got one lifetime to live i shall work hard to achieve one God & his revelation to believe i shall kneel down and ask for forgiveness one dream & promise that I shall fulfill in my heart's empty spaces I will fill i am a dreamer and a firm believer I am blessed with a mind that's far from shallow in Allah's great lead I shall follow another rough road that I shall cross i must forget about the painful loss my destiny is in my own right hand I shall never disown my people and motherland one long route that leads me to my fate i hope I will get there in time and not late adulthood is one lifetime experience i take one moment in history that I shall make i will rise above the disappointments in my life learn from my mistakes and keep up the stride someday I will make my mark and earn my stripe I will find that elusive missing piece so when I die I can finally rest in peace for now I live on and I know my legacy wont get rotten because my seed will make sure I wont be forgotten. PS. i think i posted enough and i better stop before i ran out of ideas. Peace, Love & Unity.

Tenacious_J, Thanks for the Probs and don't worry I will contact you and give you the address and all the details you need when I am done Insha Allah. we are currently in chapter three and my friend who is my "Ghost Writer" is eager to get it done before July and that is the target we set for ourselves and insha allah we will be ready come July. it will be a dream come true to have the cover picture of my book in all the Somali websites including Somaliaonline and trust me it will happen insha allah, i am certain of that. Peace, Love & Unity. Once again thanks for the words of encouragement and the love.

why should i be ridiculed whether love rock and roll or rapping? yet everyone's laughing at me for my lack of wealth but violence and hate continue to form I am praying and waiting for the calm but already we're engulfed by a storm swimming in arrogance or make that ignorance our brains are fogged with incoherence insensible thought thinking one is greater solely by being born with the silver spoon or by appearance these are the problems of the people i hang with we live in a world where they judge you by the clothes you wear certain dialogue or shall I say a certain accent a different race, sports, even the colour of your hair friend or foe, self-expression shouldn't matter whether we're poor or rich we breath the same air forget about love my friend,life is taken for granted because people would rather be with a millionaire adolescence has taught me so many lessons as a youth you are constantly delirious full of energy and so quick to be furious taking high school status far too serious nowadays,social rank is getting blown way out of proportion too many people are being blinded by the illusion of good fortune today I am accused of being a Boy and not a man who is not rich enough to know who is Tiffany. Peace, Love & Unity.

Born & raised in a small place called Kismayo left home and now I find myself in another world where society is overrun by expensive trends if you're poor like me all you can do is frown surrounded by your artificial friends even though it means nothing in the end they keep wearing their fake smiles & lies no one really has a good heart or a hand to lend like cruelty is some sort of prize and everybody and everyone displays a disguise the truth might spoil their fake image no kind and welcoming & happy smiles just exclusion and long looks of grimace to portray a unique & phoney style is an automatic ticket to loneliness unless you fashion what everyone else does its like you don't get respect & you don't exist but most people judge amiss and take pleasure from causing disruption no need to cut my wrists for a world that has been taken by corruption young minds have been poisoned everyone sorted into different classes some kids getting beat up and robbed for as little as wearing glasses almost fascists and this kind of treatment should never happen.

*Diamante*, that was beautiful my sister, thanks for sharing with us. Peace, Love & Unity.

Ay Kutubeey, He was a criminal alright but there are some people that I know who swear that he was the Somali version of "Robin Hood" because in this country where the strongest survives our Somali people suffered a lot when they first came here and thanks to him slowly but surely life got better and today we are arguably the strongest Somali community living outside of Somalia simply because he laid the foundation and he encouraged people to unite and stand as one even though some were reluctant but still they were scared to get hurt so they had no choice but to scream in his presence "Soomaali Hais Raacdo" .

Bishaaro, may allah reward your parents with Jannah as well Insha Allah. Peace, Love & Unity.

This is a book I am currently trying to write with the help of my best friend Noor and it is not fiction but based on a TRUE STORY, it is the life story of a Somali brother called Ibrahim M. May Allah Have Mercy On His Soul. I don’t know how long it will take us to finish it but I promised "Him" and myself to finish it and when it comes out Insha Allah with the same title make sure you buy it because you are helping fatten the pockets of a brother named BOB who was once a proud somaliaonline member so that no girl will ever dump me for being SHIIDKA CALI. i am only giving you a taste of whats to come and i hope you will all like it. Introduction: I never knew Ibrahim M back then when he was still in Kismayo., never saw him before until one day our paths crossed but if you are Somali living in this country that I live in, then you definitely heard or read the legend that became Ibrahim M. in our first meeting, we spoke, only once, along the dark, echoing corridor of the ground floor punishment cells of GP Local Prison and that experience still haunts me and will do so until the day I die. it was a bitterly cold night in July 2001, when the cold silence of the cell row was suddenly shattered by rattling keys and banging doors, there were murmured voices, some coarse laughter, the sounds of something or some one being dragged and moans of pain. Then the sound of a key in the cell door, the noise of the opening and shutting, the rattle of the keys again and then the footsteps, murmurs and laughter receding to sounds of the section being locked down. Ibrahim M. after his final torture session had been dumped in his solitary cell overnight, despite his pain and exhaustion; he followed the whispered instructions about using the stool in the cell to gain access to the heavy still grill covering an opening overlooking the corridor. whispers through the grill could carry almost the length of the cell row. and so i had my first meeting with Ibrahim M. which was brief and even though I heard about the bank robbery that gone bad. Ibrahim M. was in evident agony, but somehow he wanted to talk to me, to ask me whether it was true or not because he had been told many people had been killed and injured. he couldn't believe it, it was not part of the plan to cause any sort of harm to anybody which was the main reason why he kept repeating "That's impossible, that is a lie, they are lying, evil bast@rds are lying". Ibrahim M. was a gang leader, the most powerful gang that any Somali man has ever formed in anywhere inside or outside of Somalia and Ibarhim M. was the founding member and the undisputed leader of that particular gang and even though the gang had many different races with various nationalities still Ibarhim M. was the brain behind it all and everybody knew this. Legend has it that Ibrahim M. was one of the most slippery criminals this country has ever known and there are some who would go as far as saying he had connections with people in higher positions starting from the police commissioner all the way up to the office of safety & security minister and they say that is why he always seemed to be few steps ahead of the long arm of the law. He told me that he was totally against killing innocent people which was the main reason why he left his home country and he always made sure that his men never aimed at no one let alone shot at which raised my suspicion and increased my deep-rooted dislike towards the special force that were instructed to head hunt his gang and him in particular. The local police had been given an urgent order to clear the station in the area where Ibrahim M. and his gang were anticipated to hit next and they were told to make way for the special force that were to take over the operation and Newspapers and TV stations were called. Ibrahim M. uttered the words that still echo through my ears "None of my boys ever fired a single shot towards anybody but now I wish they had fired at the police and we should have all died fighting because in that way none of us would have gone through what we are going through now and above all we would have died as proud men". Police claimed that Ibrahim M. personally shot at least four people including the bank manager to show his disappointment in the bank employees for not serving him fast enough and they said he placed his gun under the bank manager's seat after he shot him in the head, He swore to me that he had not placed it near or under any seat, yet this was where the police claimed it had had been found after the lethal results. Straining to speak, Ibrahim M. apologized that he couldn't continue to speak. he had to sleep and he was in pain but not before asking me if there was anything that I needed, he asked me if everything was OK and if I had enough blankets to keep me warm and if my mattress was thick enough, he insisted that I should let him know if there's anything I may need and he said to me in Somali "This place is not meant for you, you are too young to be in here and when you get out make sure you never come back alright? This place is for a$$holes because jail kills your spirit but A$$holes got no spirits whatsoever". This is a man whose physical torture and pain was visible yet he was worried about me, no one laid a finger on me and not even the police bothered with me and his genuine concern for me really touched me deeply and I immediately liked him and I wanted to be his friend that he could trust and depend on. "I think they broke my Jaw" he said smiling. it later transpired that his jaw and four ribs had been broken from the hard kicks of notorious torturer, Captain AJ Smith and also his skull had a fracture. Four months and nine days later Ibrahim M. was gone. I was released 17 days later. I never saw or heard him go as the barked commands signaled the prison waking to a new day, worse still: I never had the chance to say Good Bye to the most feared and respected guy in this city they call Gangster’s Paradise ever saw. This is the story of the most sophisticated bank robber this country ever knew and the man the media and the police force dubbed "The Ghost" after evading them for so long and robbing more than twenty banks in the process and stealing more than fifty cars all estimated to be worth some $5 million U.S dollars. Today Ibrahim M. lies silently in his grave located in a Muslim cemetery called Solly Muslim Cemetery and he is survived by his wife and two daughters. the police force murdered him after accusing him of trying to escape from jail but we know otherwise and we know why they shot him dead...simply because they knew they couldn't afford to see him in court and have him tell in details what is perhaps the most scandalous case involving some of the most powerful men in this government and me and handful few others happen to know all the names that helped create the monster called Ibrahim M. if you ever wondered if it was possible for some one like you (Somali)to be as powerful as Scar face or Godfather then look no further because Ibrahim M. has seen it all and done it all in a relative space of 7 years. To me he is not gangster and a criminal and there are many Somali families in this country that will swear that he was a saint but people's opinions about him differ, some say he was a heartless criminal who lured young Somali boys into a life of crime by showering them with cash and expensive gifts while some say Ibrahim M. was the best thing that ever happened to them as he helped them financially and because of him no Somali business suffered an arm robbery in this city that he was its KING, regardless what people say about him but they all agree on one thing, Ibrahim M. loved his Somali people, young & old, male or female. Rest In Peace My Brother, you made us all proud and forever i will carry your words and memories with me.

Ms Word listen to and follow your heart like a certain girl i know did even if that means breaking few people's hearts along the way and don't listen to what anybody else tells you as this is your life and not anybody else's and it is only you who SHOULD decide what is best for you and not bother yourself with what anybody else wants even if that means upsetting your family because remember one thing, no matter what your family will always love you and as for Qabiil crap, just look at what it did to our people and country and you will find out if its a good thing or a bad thing and whatever you decide GOOD LUCK my sister, just remember that BOB is 120% with you. Peace, Love & Unity.

Bogota - The pope elected to succeed John Paul II will be assassinated and his death will spark a Muslim invasion of the West that will split the Roman Catholic Church, according to an interpretation of Nostradamus' prophecies by a leading Colombian author. Gonzalo Echeverri, a Colombian investigating judge and author of a book on Nostradamus, said: "The next pope elected will be subsequently murdered in central Italy. "Then comes pope No 112, who will flee Rome because of an attack by Muslims." According to Echeverri, the pope will base himself in Avignon, France, and another pontiff will take control in Italy, splitting the Catholic church in two. "There is a clear prophecy that says the holy father will move to another place, even warning that the French pope will not be able to stay in Avignon due to the Muslim invasion and will flee again to Lyon, where he will be attacked, according to Nostradamus," Echeverri said. Avignon was a base for popes for much of the 14th century, another time of grave divisions in the church and Europe. Nostradamus was a 16th century scholar who made prophecies. His supporters say he predicted the French revolution, the rise of Hitler and the assassination of President John F Kennedy. Peace, Love & Unity.

My brothers & sisters, I don't mean to make you sad but it's just that I am only trying to remind you that not all is well particularly in our beloved country Somalia. Children with clothes...patients with livers to deny such necessities creates shivers unfortunately not everyone was blessed with this our beloved country SOMALIA pour with starvation and naked kids some depend on cardboard for protection from weather some easily amazed by words of counterfeit old man give and receive...heard in homes galore you lived normal but never wondered, what for? just don't ignore the children's cries and also that man outside the grocery store you never give money but have you ever asked, what for? next time donate when you see him next to the door so you no more, will have to ask, what for? a life saved, skin concealed...odor hid because of the right thing you just did children with health, clothes, and an education because you just rightfully gave a donation. God Bless Somalia & Somali People. Peace, Love & Unity.

Sometimes it hurts to be Somali and at times I find myself staring at the sky thinking "is this how I am going to spend for the rest of my life? Am I brought on to this earth just to suffer and watch my people hate each other and kill each other? I better stop before I sin and dampen your spirit and i will continue to pray for a better days and long lasting happiness and peaceful night sleep for my Somali people Insha Allah. Peace, Love & Unity.
