There is a widespread fear of an impending tragedy in Somalia as the top leaders of the government are about to clash over issues of leadership and management giving rise to mounting disagreements and an escalating militia build up along tribal lines.

If Somalia again goes to war (it has been fighting for the last 17 years)with itself, we shall only be found in the history books not anymore on the face of the earth. May the world intervene before we perish in the hands of Somalia's present leaders? Photo: President Yusuf (left) and Prime Minister Ghedi. The two are not on good working terms.

No more communicating
Never exchanging words
No more eye contact

In a steam of bitter anger
Their minds are locked
The rift is getting wider

On a collision course
Both are set to crash
They are speeding

When leaders fall out
The nation would sink
Into the depths of terror

With flaring canon fire
It would descend into anarchy
As it drowns in its own blood

Awaiting to face this implosion
We remain speaking of its dangers
As we have no authority to intervene
Nor even an option to leave the scene

It is like living in blazing prison
With no ability to get out of the cell
As you wait its roof collapse upon you
