Abdulkadir Hersi Yamyam is famous Somali poet and a great literary treasure. He produced hundreds of songs while his poems are in the tune of thousands. He is being resettled in America together with his family after they got sponsorship from relatives in the States. He and his family moved to Nairobi to undergo procedural resettelment matters. Yamyam has had no ambition to leave his country but the prolonged unrest and chaos in his motherland forced him to flee to abroad where he can get better facilities and better opportunities. One of his hit songs is ISHA which goes like this: YEY KU DHICIN ILAMADU DHIR ABAARSATEE ISHA SACABKA MARI. Meaning, " Clean the eye with your palm lest the tear falls on dry (famine-ridden) trees. I dedicate this poem to that great Somali Poet

His name is Abdulkadir Hersi
Yamyam is his nickname
He is a famous Somali Poet
He is a defender of rights
He is a voice of the victim
He is an advocate of peace
He is a poet of all genres
He has exceptional talents
His poems are deep and powerful
They touch one in the heart
His mind is awake and alert
Beauty is what it can offer
Never ever it coughed hatred
That poet is tonight on travel
He is bound to the United States
Columbus, Ohio, is his destination
As he left the transit lounge
A familiar person had emerged
Yamyan was caught in surprise
He was indeed shocked
She was Somalia in a human shape
Tears filled her beautiful eyes

"Oh Yamyam" She said
"Oh my love"
YEY KU DHICIN LIMADU
DHIR ABAARSATEE
ISHA SACABKA MARI
Clean the tear from my eye
Let it not fall on dry twigs
