General Duke Posted October 2, 2010 Ferguson brother, was online and came across that first song and was reminded of back home. How we are all Waiting for the world to change. Yet none of our generation have the courage to make that change. Then thought about other songs, all sad but work with me.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chimera Posted October 2, 2010 - the Anthem of every Somali kid. I can't remember anything can't tell if this is true or dream deep down inside I feel to scream this terrible silence stops me now that the war is through with me I'm waking up, I cannot see that there's not much left of me nothing is real but pain now hold my breath as I wish for death oh please God, wake me back in the womb it's much too real in pumps life that I must feel but can't look forward to reveal look to the time when I'll live fed through the tube that sticks in me just like a wartime novelty tied to machines that make me be cut this life off from me hold my breath as I wish for death oh please God, wake me now the world is gone I'm just one oh God, help me hold my breath as I wish for death darkness imprisoning me all that I see absolute horror I cannot live I cannot die trapped in myself body my holding cell landmine has taken my sight taken my speech taken my hearing taken my arms taken my legs taken my soul left me with life in hell --Highlighted is the best part.

Somalina Posted October 3, 2010 by S@de There is a woman in somalia Scraping for pearls on the roadside There's a force stronger than nature Keeps her will alive This is how she's dying She's dying to survive Don't know what she's made of I would like to be that brave She cries to the heaven above There is a stone in my heart She lives a life she didn't choose And it hurts like brand-new shoes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
