FOR THE YOUTH OF SOMALIA.

Recommended Posts

IL CAPO   

The elders of Somalia are

perishing and losing their knowledge

What's worse is that the youth decrease

their enrollment in schools

everyday we turn on the news

viewing the Iraq death tolls

while ignoring what's happening in our land

not realizing actuality,our minds

are flooded with gross reality shows

in ways we are helpless so we follow

along with the culture flow

if we ever get a sense of knowledge

we are hated for speaking up

censorship makes us believe

its a happy world,yet instead

it's passed when kids gather

to watch a guy get executed

teens getting killed off rapidly

idiotic newscasters like BBC rejoice

Solution: throw the blame of violence

on your parents for deceiving you

academic skills crashing

because of popularity and looks

funny how a kid will commit a murder

before ever hitting the books

schools aren't safe place to reside anymore

and you can't study without getting harrassed

yet parents still send their kids

to school to learn not how to read & write

but how to cock a machine gun and fire

before ever asking them what they learned

We love Somalia..no doubt about that

even without the freedom of speech

but when guns bust, we ask

Somalia why dont you love us?

we are your beloved Children

we are your last hope for

we are the kids of today but

the leaders of tomorrow.

GOD BLESS SOMALIA.

The soft sand of my Motherland

swallowed my painful tears

I carry my grief deep inside me

behind my fragile baby flesh

and beyond my jaded adult eyes

my pain & sorrow relate to each other

I've never been a child nor had a childhood

the noisy lullaby of the bullets flying by

keep me awake all night long

i dream of my lost innocence

despise my naughty and benevolent ways

I close my eyes and dream of running away

escaping from my pain and nightmares

the lost years of an innocent little child

through the war I lost all my friends

and all my dreams and ambitions just faded

standing here fearing of

all the things that are unseen

the day they decided to caution me

from the aging ways of the painful reality

cutting the same hands that feed me

hoping the blood will lead me

to the desert end of my long journey.
