There is some hope now that the two warring groups of Somalia may come to a middle point where they can both agree to do away with war and destruction. The Islamic Courts and the Transitional Federal Government are meeting in Nairobi to sort out differences. Though the political gap lying between them is still very wide, I see a glimmer of hope that peace will come this time by any means. Too many friends of mine are in the opinion that nothing will come out of this but I insist that something will come out no matter how bitter they might seem to many leaders.

Nation of love
Nation of beauty
Nation of Peace
Nation of Unity
My dear Somalia

Sick and bedridden
Property of warlord
Victim of brutality
Of cruelty and violence
Of misuse and maltreatment
You may have lost the charm to flirt
Your chastity may have been spoiled
But never has your dignity ever diminished

Though tears are drying in your eyes
A spark of hope is still glowing in them
Whatever happened to you dear love
Rest assured honey that time has come
To deliver you from abuse and neglect
T put back to your old place of honor
