My Wishes & Dreams:

 

 

I dream of falling toward the hard surface

i dream of a nightmare that is not being able to see you

i dream of dark fog, banishing my pupils to emptiness

i dream of happier times, the times I ran freely & happily

i fear that the happier times have worn thin, vanished forever

i fear that the times i loved and enjoyed have gone forever

i fear that this dream is fear and this fear is really reality

i fear that this dream has taken over and you're not there

 

I wish destiny and fate wont play games with my battered soul

I wish my dreams and fears could leave and replace with you

I wish my thoughts to finally be decoded to you & you alone

i wish my heart would find a peaceful life

and stop smiling at the unwelcome guests.

 

I picture us slowly moving away with the words tied to your lips

i picture us moving slowly, belly to belly, flickering light but no candles

i picture you, my light, walking in and making the house bright forever

i picture you, freedom, helping me find my first steps all over again

 

I hope I replay back your memories but this time do it for real

I hope I find the way and not care about this, that bothers me

I hope I live to pass on the message you once passed to me

I hope you find the one you are looking for and hope it is me

 

I can dream, I can hope, I can fear.... still wont bring you near

I could picture, I could wish .... we'll see each other in our next life

When we are flowing in paradise like a fish

I remember every single word that you said to me and

through my head I replay them time and time again

 

every passing minute is another chance to turn around our mistakes

I dreamed, I feared, I wished, I pictured and I hoped,

You watched as I turned my back and forever abandoned you

but for the time I got to know you better and got closer

i never said THANK YOU let alone "I LOVE YOU"

I guess I deserve everything you say to me.

 

 

This is for HOME...SOMALIA.

 

 

Peace, Love & Unity.

Saalamu caleekum w.w brother Bob?

 

You’re simple amazing Bob, and our vision seem to be on same light- as the stars shine bright, while dark clouds hang-over our realm... Ya-allah, I guess god has plans for all of us. Inshallah will reach the light when time is right, but for now let's pray together!

 

Stay Humble, Ma'salama

 

Much love and Many Blessing.

Songs Of The Silenced:

 

 

Life is full of struggling strife

leaving upholding families in fights

blundering sweat for tears and

blood, working lonely nights

superb distant sights and years they spend and tend

to depress and caress the pillow

tears send to try and mend

half of their lives is spent

with abusive and ruthless arguments

the young children resorting to pills

as their cries of pain fill the galaxy

dark apartment,living a lie they try

but unconditional love fills the air

blistered bounty & bruised beware

the cup of life spills without a care

people stare and focus on life's

daily struggles with images broken

the homeless outspoken and wide open

poverty erupts violently unprovoked

problems poking through

soon court settlements brew

and out of every few an ignorant

pupil has the nerve to sew

bombings seen through windows

with suicidal missions in denial

with every court case and file

another warlord goes free without a trial :mad:

tons of clothes in fashion and

people are busy asking what is the latest trend?

while peace is passing us all by

expensive broadcasting while

my beloved Somalia worries about food rations :(

life's passing....visions of being a star

cover our youth' minds a far

only god knows they wont succeed

what they need to get a car?

life's a gazing star and happiness

is ahead just focus on the sign

because life is just beginning.

 

 

PS. My Brother Kulmiye...1 LOVE to you too and My Sijui Princess Hodman...Checki Pm'yako tafadali alafu tutaongea Insha Allah smile.gif .

 

 

Peace, Love & Unity.

Silence in The Face Of Violence: Part 1.

 

 

in this fast world we live in

it's a given humans are struggling

people driven insane by all

of the pressures they're juggling

two ways out of the trap for most

death or poverty...choose your path

and every waking second of life

a birth arrives, its a miracle

empirical formulas developed

enveloping the masses in war

babies rolling on the floor with hunger

the wealthy is sniffing and fighting for more

this is the reality, the true fatality

lives come and go in swirls

lying in the clutches of tragedy

dominating around the world

everywhere people search for a better life

praying that the day won't come

where husbands must bury their wives

hoping that the strife will soon be over

lowered guns, warring stopped

hoping there can be no more animosity

between my own Somali brothers

they seek the river and the vast oceans

to bear them into the new age of destiny

it calls where humans can think and

know not to destroy forests, building malls

where bathroom stalls are no longer

the biggest threat for the female

where there will be no breakouts

because no murderers in the kids playgrounds

degrees hailed at universities

a piece of paper deciding you're smart

while some like me aspire to be poets

and get enlightened by the verses of the flow

and words of the arts make you street smart.

 

 

Peace, Love & Unity.

Silence in The Face Of Violence: 2

 

it's a part of the survival education

I speak of the truth no question

youth learning to avoid early grave

where they become slaves to warlords

from the bloodthirsty elders in our cities

on the lookout to ring a bell or two

while across this lord less world

AIDS infected Africans walk with no shoes

while Europe is awash with booze and mentally loose

teenagers becoming alcoholics very early

changing their destiny and rope of life

from straight and narrow to frayed and curly

plus the surly politicians get to ripping on each other

death campaigns plotting a nation's certain destruction

so some are conscious, right?

but my naiveté blinds me to the fact

the voice of reason sounds light

why we, the youth, don't put up a fight?

like mindless dogs following masters

telling the youth it's cool to kill and rape

their souls wait for the masturbation of life

telling you and me to fight against peace

where they condition your right to live

with their own terms on a lease

and thus around the world we run to

until we can give ourselves freedom

and I got to say this from the heart

God would be nice right now because we need him.

 

 

Peace, Love & Unity.

Smile For Me:

 

 

Written By: Bobo for Aisha.

 

 

Rain drops don't change the emotion that stands still

when i'm looking deep into the picture of God's will

i fill up with loyalty, trust and a more valuable dignity

whispery voices in dreams talk of what (?) did for me

in all honesty, lately things in my life don't sit alone

the voices in my head are talking in a different tone

clouds above grow apart the sun shines on my face

a brand new day I stand at a starting line of a new race

at a new place, this world seems unique with quality

love, hope, truth in your eyes I see positive variety

found purity to a poisoned soul with constant distress

one (?) from your lips I opened my eyes to happiness

wont wish on a shooting star & place our love in God's hands

hold you tight & tell you I love you...make sure you understand

I'll do whatever I can to make forever not a conversation

a fortune that happened between two love birds destination

perfect communication even though we don't always see eye to eye

we both know if there's a problem for I you'll be there for I

and I, would do the same to ease the negative soil on the foundation

cause you taught me what you create is a more beautiful creation

smile for me my most beloved, show me the trust inside...

that's happily alive. show me your perfect smile...

each day I wake up to more dark clouds but i look at your picture

remember all the good times we've had an a smile starts to figure

i put my finger on your face inside a frame touching you softly

you're the angel at my side so I believe this love is truly Godly

God gave me a life i'm enjying in general but all of the sudden

things changed for the better when I met you I started waking up for something

craving for the cuddling, obsessed with the happiness I see I give you

knowing in my heart I love you more than life and the feeling is true

i'd say 'I Do', but we're too young to get married and start a family

so I bought you a promise ring & I thought you can pretend with me!

 

I Love You...

 

 

I told you...I'll make you smile again.

Silent Servant:

 

 

A tear captured memory trickles down his face

reflecting his Somali soul, a void un-occupied space

the story in his eyes cry pain of being an outcast

he keeps running away from his haunting past

gazing in a dew of doom with seeds of sadness sown

and a frown of tremble lips with fear fused in place

pondering life's sea bed anchored to his past

tied a midst the ravage from a storm that was cast

his severed future fell flat;

he picks up the pieces to store them in a jar

whilst settled pain increases living content in a coma

that wasn't meant to last, memories haunt him

projected through glass jars, it's all he has left

a comfort that boils up his scars

holding a love that's gone, he just can't let go

but while it remains with him; a light in side can't glow

deaf to the outside drowned out whispers from afar

then the safety coast aspires as the tide recedes

passive waves clash to sooth a broken heart that bleeds

they over spill and mount his deck, his ship begins to sink

relieved from his sleep, a choked past begins to drink

the waters calm his mind and breathe life of a hopeful seed

he left all his past behind him, he now harbours a clean boat

striving for a Promised Land and heads toward the coast

glancing behind to where his former pain had died

his eyes twinkle bright to shine the life he has in side

with sails set high on life, he cruises happily afloat.

 

 

To My Somali People...Just Hang in there and Everything is going to be alright Insha Allah.

 

 

Peace, Love & Unity.

Signature of Sorrow:

 

 

I see the buildings crumble and children stumble

words we mumble as our thoughts stay jumbled

in this deceptive jungle,stench and decays array

evidence stays where the children played

no need to practice proper grammar

some things hit like a colossal hammer

is it the end or just myself when I sin

leaking my hymns and speaking through pens

my vision need not alter even if its inner

in the end of it all our fate is the winner

continuous sinners complimentary dinners

I float on wings of degradation

my mind sings of desperation for separation

this world we know is consumed by desolation

different cultures wanting reparation

its hot out side my glass amasses condensation

induce a mass of concentration

stroll down my path of silence in the forest

I see myself & no violence where's my chorus?

melodic angelic relics envelop my hellish self

whether its the judgment or a storm unfelt

its becomes a dream as the scenes vanish

my breathing starts and heart slows so now I panic.

 

 

Peace, Love & Unity.

Forgotten Fantasy:

 

 

I once was a young boy, reckless and angry

menaced by a cruel world that wouldn't understand me

now as I walk down the path of eternal darkness

my mind reeks from the wrath of sin and sadness

I stumble in this dark world inside a material shell

while attempting to break away into an immaterial spell

I tumble faster down the wretched tunnel to hell

contemplating the size of the hole from which I fell

lyrical satisfaction was my destination

but worldly complications leads to mortification

at times I feel disgrace at the face of this man's taste

my words are laced in haste so as not to be a waste

AHHHHH! I'm caged on this blank page

can't write deep words in lyrical rage

so I try to maintain my main aim

which is to stay mentally sane

its hard when this world doesn't keep you curled

I'd rather float as vessel in a calm ocean.

 

but no...

 

Now the hope I stowed starts to corrode

as the love in my soul begins to erode

why cope with hope..when I can choke from a rope?

just take note of the slope of my emotional scope

I look up at the red sky, contemplating why I always try

the question is why fight to live, if we eventually die?

in my world, in the end, you can't mend what you bend

just listen, while I send these words in this lyrical trend

once you were a stone, now you're broken in your dome

you're thrown to moan, simply just eternally blown.

 

 

Peace, Love & Unity.

Simple Suggestion:

 

Taking baby steps as an adult in this situation

wish my head could rest through this assault I'm facing

its hard living flawed with concrete commitment in me

ground need breaking and my mind is the tool it seems

but foolishly I'd rather speak then achieve my dreams

keep things like my shoes clean, stead of quite screams

silent nightmares haunt me like the ghost of the coming

night terrors kill philosophy and still I conquer nothing

the blood is bubbling and it's evident a change is due

but I'm stuck standing with glued shoes so nothing is new

we take a deep breath an inhale what we we're given

stay living sinning in mental prisons with no ambition

our only course of action is feel remorse on the past

and understand a man's life like this simply cant last

I'm going to take my street degree and be great

create a decree to make the flag salute me

with no hate, no devastation, no limitations or regulations

simply a mutual respect for us to be placed in

I've seen too many held back instead of escaping

while contemplation leaves us evading regulation

the nation is in a glass house, we can't face the reflection

this is a session of recession our attentions in detention

development is arrested, who'd guess we're suppressed

oppressed and our defense is silence to further wreck mess

so it's you I address with a message to take a stand

to rise above life's every hurdle and adversity

so WE COULD revive our dethroned SOMALI kingdom.

 

 

Peace, Love & Unity.

My Soul:

 

 

My soul sees life's emptiness

my eyes see the pain.

hope for the success and pain

as I blink, I see the dreams of teens

killed by the killers and fiends

will it ever change?

No, and it's the way things seem.

could I imagine action done in silence

some say my soul needs guidance

is life dead and shed to bleed red or

let to rest on the top of my head

lived through the violence

took into account all the blood shed

ahead I see the future, the past in the mist

my body in need of energy and a lift

as I see the stacks of trouble life doubles

pain becomes a life long struggle

my attitude changes and my focus shifts

my soul is the gift the angels smuggle.

 

 

Peace, Love & Unity.

The Killing Field:

 

The demise of our nation & the death

of our dignity my kind chose to embrace

fate has me dying from my traitor of a brother's bullet

betrayed by my own blood & in blood my pain is written

smitten by brotherly love & bitten by the hand I fed

Aabo, mourn not my departure for I did not die in vain

Hooyo, tears you'd shed not after you smell the sweet scent of my body

silenced I shall not be as my blood floods the earth

the ocean & rivers treasure my memory like the air you breathe

lucky is he who waters my muslim soil with his own blod

for life's cheap when you know what you're dying for

paradise awaits the chosen martyr among the idle men

a noble prince living amongst the evil doers & sin dwellers

pardoned by almighty I pray to be in the day of reckoning

my kind put pride before faith and death before God, the greatest

blessed is he who passed on before we crumbled with sin

guilty conscience is strangled by raping the innocent baby girls

our enemies bomb & stomp with my brother's permission

what's his mission going to be in his day of submission?

you rejoice not the defeat of an enemy but a brother by birth

the myth you fed the men who know not just & kindness

the ugly & the unpleasant flowers you planted to bloom

caused this mindless hatred and love's day of doom

Allah (s.w) is forsaken by my kind for the delight of hell.

 

 

May he turn away from the ugly faces of the hypocrites who belittle Islam in disgust and may he protect our Muslims brothers & sisters in Somalia, Iraq, Palestine, Afghanistan, Kashmir and Chechnya and the rest of the Muslim world and the world over who daily face the indiscriminate bombardment in the hands of the infidels who invaded them...either by force or by the invitation of the Mujrimeen so-called leaders in these countries.

 

...and about these Mujrimeen and their followers I say unto them, May Allah s.w reward them in life and in death what they've earned by continuously sinning against the saints and causing the countless death of the same people they are supposed to protect so they could please their kuffaar masters instead of Allah s.w, the sole master of all.

 

 

Peace, Love & Unity.

Willful Wailing:

 

Nightmares while I lie awake

light years will my trial take

in Allah's name I define my fate

I'm tired of this waiting game

nothing changes every day as I age

divine guidance is what I seek at this stage

yet I remain trapped inside of this cage

watch as I describe all this rage

a work of mad artist best describes this page

all this pain and still maintain

my same style...listen while I explain.

brothers & sisters repent of your sins

wealth and money has no value in death

beauty and physical things are destroyed

your souls at war with your flesh

even in the birth of your seed

happiness can turn to stress

I pray you to confess your

worldly lusts and trust in Allah (s.w)

the revelation with in the

serpent's breath of wind and fire

is coming to take home

those not worthy of the holly sire

new testament can only grow

though I must go for I am tired.

 

 

Peace, Love & Unity.
