Tanks, not food, are all that we have for the poor


Poem Artwork

They are deadly and quite danerous
They roar and roll over sand hills
They are the tanks of death and horror
They spit fire to destroy the land
They are tough in ground engagements
But warlords use them as a peace envoy
They send them to settle clan disputes
They wish to extinguish fire with fire
They want to live but kill all the rest
At the expense of the poor and the
vulnerable
They intend to remain in power for ever
What kind of logic is that?

What Victor, below, says is correct. The enemy against not for. War always has two sides. In wars there are always spys to get information against the enemy. There is always underground. Which you said is bad advice. Yes, in a way, you can stand idally by and be killed or you can fight back. In India Mohanned chose the peace method, not fight back, the enemy got tired of killing innocent people and finally gave up. God must have intervened. Jesus chose this method but was put to death on a cross. WAR IS ALWAYS CREUL.
In Europe, they tried to hide the Jews. Some survived, tho not many. Study the methods used, find followers, and pray doing the best you can,There is no way other countries can help except going over there and fighting your wars. We are storming Heaven for you with prayers. 'God saved his people thru Moses by parting the sea and then closing it after them so the enemy drowned in trying to follow' Yes there is a God and He is on our side. Take courage and do what Jesus tells you to do. Marguerite

Who ever said that the powers that be use logic? Or compassion? Or the interest of the people? Victor

The motivation of the leaders escapes me, Abdi-Noor, unless they are thinking that they are better off to destroy all the people and then rebuild some kind of "Master Race" ala Adolph Hitler. A ruler without subjects is a ruler with no real power. I pray that the real people, who love Somalia, will in the end, prevail.
Take care,
Sherry

Excellent write Abdinoor. Two wrongs do not make right. Our leaders are trying to get power by killing their people.

Thank you Abdinoor, Allaha kaa samata bixiyo aafada onkodaysa.

Your brother,

Abdullahi
