Somalia coalition for Freedom of expression came into being few days ago. I dedicate my poem to this miracle baby.
You are a small boat today
You were built a few days ago
You are Freedom of expression
You are the Coalition of Hope
You can't go far in the sea
You can't undertake a voyage
The sea is too dark and deep
It has waves. It has sharks
Just sail around the coast
An infant needs time to grow
You can't expect it to walk
It has to reach age of child
Still a child needs to grow
He can't run for the marathon
Don't lose hope my little boat
Sea waters have shaky waves
Don't let crew to disembark
Tomorrow when you grow big
You will become a great ship
Please choose the right captain
One who observes navigation rules
One who avoids hitting sharp peaks
You are a small boat today
You were built a few days ago
You are Freedom of expression
You are the coalition of hope

Excellent- this message is so strong here and its truth should be heard by everyone- I think in this computer age some expect instant proof of how things will go in situations of such grave propotions that cannot be solved like a TV drama. No one reads enough history anymore, if they did, they would realize the greatest things that have happened took time, work, faith and persistence.
The little ship that could, and I hope it does. You are right about the captain. African countries and organizations need selfless individuals to come forth and lead.
Fantastic poem of wisdom, with inspiration for this new ship of hope and freedom! You have great vision Abdi Noor, and I pray that what you envisage, will manifest! Take care, and stay positive!
Love,
Eileen
