War made me as blind as a bat
It took my sight away from me
My eyes are watching but not seeing
My ears are listening but not hearing
My heart is not pumping but bleeding
It is sympathizing with the sick child
It is weeping for that poor mother
I raise my voice. Many hear my cries
But very few share the pain with me
I am borrowing light from the dark
I am begging strength from the weak
Only a government can come to my rescue
But it will not be born without birth defects
It is the product of two evil parents
Tribe fell in love with politics
IGAD was called to officiate marriage
Conception has already taken place
Somalia is pregnant
It will soon give birth
Let's wait and see
Let's receive that child
Let's see where it has the problem
Let's not bury the unborn
AbdiNoor I'm praying your hopes and prayers are answered!
I'm excited for you and your country, and pray it will get
a good start and all the help it needs! Blessings to you and yours!

o, dear (((brother))), this is powerful, heartwrending...no one can truly know unless they are where you are...or unless you keep raising your voice. keep shouting--you are being heard by many here at AD, and above all, by God.
((((((HUGS)))))), love and continued prayers, your sister, karla. :(

And never give that striving up. Never. Regardless of what comes forth.
It is up to the people to decide whetther they want to remain slave of forged leaders, or stand up for Justice and build a country of human beings.

You raise your voice well, Abdi-Noor. Hope many listen to your cries.
