No government means no life but some people wish to live without life
When they build they destroy it
When they destroy they build it
And the cycle continues on and on
Till they vanish in the wilderness
They are the people of Somalia
They set up a government today
Only to destroy it tomorrow
They can't live with the law
Yet they can’t live without law
I worry for the future of my people

This reminds me of politics thats goes on in coffeeshops, you've captured the disagreements that accompanies conflict.
I do too, Abdi-Noor, it seems that people can't agree on what is best for the majority and just learn to live with it. Things certainly are not looking bright for Somalia these days, and I worry about you and your family. I read today where there had been bombings for two days in Mogadishu and I wondered if will it ever end.
Take care and keep safe,

If they put all of their money into building like crazy instead of hating like crazy, what a beautiful life it would be. Instead it is dreadful. Living without life is not oly there, it is here too. Thanks for this poem.

You are credit to humanity, keep it up.
I am sorry friend, but the people of Somalia sound awfully confused.
Stay safe.
