The newly-elected president Col. Yusuf and the Speaker of the Parliament Sheriff Hassan have bitter disagreements over several issues. If they fail to break this deadlock then Somalia will most likely go again into a new round of civil conflict which may lead to the demise of this seemingly unlucky nation.

I AM A BRAVE MAN IN THE HORN
ONE WHO CAN FIGHT VIGROUSLY
BUT CAN NOT WIN THE BATTLE
MY TWO HANDS ARE ON BAD TERMS
THEY HAVE A DISPUTE BETWEEN THEM

I AM A BOLD EAGLE IN THE HORN
ONE WHICH CAN FLY IN STYLE
BUT CAN NOT REACH ANYWHERE
MY TWO WINGS ARE ON BAD TERMS
THEY HAVE A DISPUTE BETWEEN THEM

I PRESIDE OVER A CONFERENCE
I CALL IT RECONCILLIATION
I SEEK PEACE FROM WITHIN MYSELF
I TALK TO MY RIGHT HAND
I TALK TO MY LEFT HAND
I TALK TO MY TWO WINGS
I TELL THEM TO SHOW TOLERANCE
FAILURE TO RECONCILE THEM
GIVES ME A DEATH WARRANT
MY LIFE WILL COME TO AN END
PLEASE OFFER ME A BURIAL SITE
