THIS CONFLICT IN SOMALIA IS NOT ENDING. I'M AFRAID A COMPANY WILL COME TO US ONE DAY TO CLAIM THAT SOMALIA AND ITS PEOPLE ARE PART OF HIS COMPANY ASSETS.
HE FIRED A DEADLY SHOT
AN OBJECT WAS AIMED AT
HE HIT TARGET IN THE HEART
HE CONFIRMED SUBJECT DEAD
BUT HIS TARGET WAS IMMORTAL
IT WAS TRUTH.
HE THOUGHT HE KILLED IT
BUT NEVER EVER IT DIES
THE BRITISH COLONIZED SOMALIA

OR ARE WE STILL INDEPENDENT AND SOVEREIGN?

Take care,
Sherry
