A Somali refugee is fed up with the unending imapsse of the warlords and wishes to get resettlement somewhere in the Free World. The warlords are meeting in Mbagathi, Kenya. Today is the World Refugee Day and I dedicated my poem to this special occasion.
If I stay in-door I feel cold I feel chilly and rather desolate Out in the city market everything is expensive and quite unaffordable My ailing pocket weeps at the sight of the prices If I hit the road just to sight-see Misery will find me somewhere Police will put chains on me I have no Kipanda or an ID I am a Somali Refugee My status can not protect me If I tune to my favorite BBC *Mbgathi grabs News headline Wrangles marred conference Some warlords walked out Shooting started back home. No peace in the motherland No joy in the host nation A way out is resettlement Do you sponsor me?

This truly shows the plight of so many Somalians, and others in nations the world over Abdi-noor. An excellent piece to keep us aware of what is happening in our world, and why prayer and help
