Seynab is a two year old Somali girl who died in the silent campaign of genocide perpetrated by greedy warlords and Islamic fundamentalists in Somalia


Poem Artwork

Mortar bombs explod. Family displaced
Seynab moved to safe haven with her mother

In the outskirts of the capital city
They built makeshift huts to live in

Peering through a hole in the shack
Seynab sees nothing but a gusting wind

Deep in her eyes a look of pain brews
Her hopes to get a meal are shattered

Pirates seized a vessel carrying food aid
Seynab´s starvation reached unbearable levels

With ransom payment vessel released
But Seynab still hungry food not yet reached

Gunmen have taken the life of an aid worker
Aid agency suspended food distribution

Seynab was left with no chance to survive
And so she died on the dying hands of his mother

Is this not genocide?
Why then culprits not brought to court?

Very powerful poem. The word Somali lately been accompanied with death and destruction. But the hope is still high. I feel the pain and sorrow of these kids who have their life and childhood is taken for no reasons. Will keep praying...
Thanks brother Abdi-Noor for enlightening us with your words.

Such anguish,and yet the forces of evil prevail in a world of such confusion,where greed and tyranny triumph over justice...

-- justice is not always swift nor even assured in this life -- but in the end, justice is always served by the Lord -- these atrocities leave such an acrid taste in the mouths of compassionate, civil human beings -- what to so, what to do -- may peace invade your land and halt these injustices forever more -- JMW

Heartbreaking - maybe one day man will learn. Or is it too late? As long as there is one willing to speak out for the innocents, there is a tiny fragment of hope for them - well done.

((((HUGS)))) love and prayer, Karla.

I am sending this to my daughter to read, Abdi-Noor. She was wondering about modern day pirates. Now she will learn from someone who knows first hand, you.

As Ed said, keep telling the truth of what is occurring there. Please continue speaking for the little Seynabs.
