Bashiir Posted March 27, 2011 If I fight you for a cause, Do you think I will lose? If you kill me for a gain, Can you survive without pain? If you shed my blood, Will I miss all a lad? If you see yourself heavy-weight, Alas! In thinking you are late! If you hate me for an aim, Lurking mind, can you claim? If you make me crestfallen, Won't peace be stolen? If both of us don't think well, Are we going to meet in hell? If millions disperse and die, Why each of us to hide and lie? If all our guns cry, Alas! Why to buy? If you hit me with stone, In ache will I be alone? If you shoot me with gun, Will I fear of you and run? If you chase me today, Will you not fall my prey? If two of us slay, Won't war be May to May? If you dictate to me, Will I not bite you like bee? If you are so malevolent, Why am I to be benevolent? If life seems so, No way to go! Then, let us ride back! And see what we lack! Stop now to whack! And stitch the crack! In peace then discuss! Without maiming lass! By: Mohamed Abdikadir (Stanza) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bashiir Posted March 28, 2011 You're most welcome awoowe, you could tell us the real meaning of the poem since most of us are not good in literature, especially af faranjiga.. ,,, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BOB Posted March 28, 2011 You don’t have to be good in literature to understand the meaning of this poem unless you mean reer Kismayo lama fahmo, . (I’m allergic to literature by the way) if you look beyond the rhymes and his trade-mark short lines waad fahmi doontaa inuu ka hadlayo dagaalka foosha xun ee waddankeena ka dhacayey 20kii sano ee lasoo dhafay oo illaa iyo maantana ka socda waddankii, wuxuu ka taabanayaa caqli darada kan wax dilaya oo aan ka danqaneyn dilka uu dilayo walaalkii, wuxuu ka damqanayaa dhibaatada iyo halaaga uu dagaalku galiyay ummadda Soomaaliyeed, wuxuu ugu hanjabayaa all these brain dead warlords in one day people will get fed of their dirty antics and manipulation , all in all Stanza is saddened and you can sense his pain and grief. PS. He’s my homeboy by the way and we were even born in the same hospital and his full name is Mohamed Abdikadir Daud oo waa laguu yaqaan.:cool: Peace, Love & Unity.

BOB Posted March 28, 2011 This is one of my favourite poems of his and believe me this one has far more deeper meaning than the one you've posted...macno culus ayuu xambaarsanyahay gabaygan ee ila eeg. Gobsanaa Gabdhahayagu Gobsanaa gabdhahayagu Gaalada ma raacaan Gumeystaha ma yeelaan Kuwa gunnada qaatee Heybaddooda gabayana Gogol kulama seexdaan Guri kalama toosaan Gacal kuma yidhaahdaan Gacan kuma salaamaan Ubad lama gardaadshaan Guur lama wadaagaan Iney geyn karaan iyo Geyaan uma maleeyaan Giddi wey huruufaan Kuwa gabay naftoodii Iyo gaal u d@badh!lif Geesigiyo halyeeygiyo Gabyaagiyo nindoorkana Gallin qura ma ciilaan Marka laysku go'ayee Weerar lagu gawaarsado Iyo guluf-colaadeed Iney garab na siiyaan Nala geeriyoodaan Gobonimo u diriraan Waa gad lagu yaqaannoo Anna gabay ku faanaa. Gaarinimiyo garashiyo Sooryeynta gacalnimo Iyo edab gun iyo baar Rag u gogoldhiggiisii Deymo Geenyo-faras iyo Garaaraha gacmaha dhilan Timo garabka dhaafiyo Gardho ay dabeyluhu Kolba gees u liicshaan Iyo midab guduud ohoo Aan salguurin waligii gabdha wada casaan ohoo Afku gorad-madoow yahay Goombaar aheynoo Xishood lagu gadaamoo Hiddaha aan gaboodfalin Gayigeenna mooyee Goob laga helaa male Ninkii guur u jeedoow Bal garwaaqso weedhaa. Ma fahamtay? Peace, Love & Unity. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bashiir Posted March 28, 2011 Lol. Maya saas kama wadin daacad ayey iga aheyd. Waanse fahmay. Weliba gabaygan danbe ayaan aad ula dhacay. Tolow goormuu tiriyey, maxaase ku kalifay? Bal qisaskiisa nooga sheekee.... Abwaanku waa dhaweyd ayuu guursaday gabadh dhakhtarad ah soo ma ahayn? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
