Chimera   

Somalia-famine-001.jpg

 

Quick feet, that's what they used to call me, do they still?

 

I wonder!

 

Fifty days I have been denied to enter the Kingdom of Nutrition, how many more to come?

 

I wonder!

 

Can a mind live without its body, can a fish live without water?

 

I wonder!

 

What happened to father and baby Aisha, did they make it to Mogadishu?

 

I wonder!

 

Where is mommy, have the masked men released her yet?

 

I wonder!

 

Lady famine hugs me and my brother, the touch is cold, is she our mother now?

 

I wonder!

 

Flashlight, a picture is taken, what will the world think of me?

 

I wonder!

 

Do they know after doing chores for my father in the farm, I used to play football until the sun set?

I wonder!

 

Do they know my brother, lying in front of me, was the youngest muezzin in town, and has the voice of an angel?

 

I wonder!

 

School will begin soon, I miss my class-mates,...where did the masked men's trucks take them to?

 

I wonder!

 

I liked teacher Hassan, he was nice,....what did the masked men do to him in the open field?

 

I wonder!

 

I am tired, will I live to see another day?

 

I wonder!

 

Will I wake up tommorow and discover it was all just a bad dream?

 

 

 

 

 

I.........I hope so!
