Buubto Posted February 16, 2002 Somalia my shining country My spirit of life that keeps me going Day and night I picture u in my heart Wishing I was in my own land Wishing I was setting under big gumtrees No need to turn on air-condition or heater no air pollution Just laying there enjoying Somali’s natural weather It’s country gifted by Allah natural resources No food chemical & food engineering A warm milk that is just being milked from a cow A fresh meat slaughtered same day Fresh vegetables Together we are undefinable nation Full of energy & educated people I have being to so many countries Seen new technology & so-called modern world Yet there is no place like home The true nature, its fresh resources & unique life Are unchallengeable Or Perhaps we not all that….. I ask myself every minute If Somalia is a gift from Allah Why are we enemies? Why are we so ignorant? Why can’t we say Alhamdulilah & get on life? Why do we have to divide ourselves? We share one religion & one culture Yet we fighting We are educated people yet can’t civilise We say we not tribalist yet we fund the world-loads We say we want peace yet refuse to support the current government. We say we Muslims yet obeying tribalism We live foreigner countries together Still the problems exist. My heart breaks to see our people like this They live in one country, yet Every tribe lives different suburbs We educate our kid’s tribalism We want no other different tribe to mix with us I wonder when this corruption will ever end? We say we are not hopeless yet we are actionless What is our future? I sit here wondering If Somalia my Shining country will ever recover? I have one hope For Allah to re-unite our hearts And to open our eyes to reality [This message has been edited by Buubto (edited 02-16-2002).] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
