Agony of a Somali Intellectual in a lawless country where darkness forces light to walk behind it.
When blindness rules
Seeing is a crime
People with eyes
are at great risk
They are a target
A prime target, indeed
They could be killed anytime.
I have only one eye. One eye alone
I'm looking for a place to keep it
Can you please hide it for me?
I want to live few years more
My dearest Abdi-Noor, we have an old "Negro" spiritual whose lyrics stated by Moses read, "Go down Pharoah, let my people go". It seems that Pharoah never dies. I join you in screaming to the wind to let my people go. You are in my prayers Brother as I recall the African knowledge of God before Jesus or Mohammed. Stay strong my brother, we too want you to live again and again. TRUTH NEVER DIES BUT IT WOUNDS CAN BE FATAL!
God do you no longer open eyes
There are ears stuffed with such lies
Without you, how do we reach
The lawless minds that so breach
Justice, what is sensible,and true
There cannot be any fairness
If your light is kept hidden by darkness
To whom shall we cry for mercy
For nations that live in fear of warlords
Instead of learning to fear you Lord
Can we help Abdi Noor and his family find a way
Until his nation turns to peace one day!

Quite profound, Abdi-Noor, and sadfully true in many areas of our world today. I hope many will see your heartfelt write.
