True value poem

Recommended Posts

I pray many a time for days

Prayed so hard at times I cried

Lord the ever lasting the one

Guide me so I can clearly see the sun

 

Why this shadow over me?

My people have been gripped by madness

The night is never ending

They refuse to see

 

Why do we die in vain?

And who if not us will contemplate this pain?

 

Mothers suffer for the sins of our fathers

Sisters are blamed, brothers are maimed

Rest gloat and the confused seek fame

 

The promised land is misery

Qad, loneliness and envy

 

Merciful lord give me the strength to speak

Lift me up for my knees are trembling, weak

 

No longer do we care

A caring soul amongst us is rare

 

I love my land but I have doubt

Doubt that I will be lost in this time

In this injustice and never ending crime

Never to see peace and prosperity

 

I doubt that we have the strength to change

So I seek refuge in the lord of men

I prey that Allah will give

Give his servant the chance to see

True value in being a Somali
