STORIES OF SOMALIA
Where do I start?
Could I brief about its abundant gold?
Or the amazing traditions so old
Of storytelling and poetry so strong and bold
Can I talk a little about its coastline?
That stretches as far as the Indian ocean
Or about its serene and beautiful people
Of poetic voices and amazing storytelling skills
I bet this you want to know not
For your thoughts are fixed to the odd
Of how it has been ravaged by destruction
One I'm certain came with instruction.
It will amaze you
How still strong a rickety tradition stands;
How beautiful its plateau sites are
And how strong the bond families still share.
Somalia is made of greatness
If not only for western politics.
