There are people who say "NO" without knowing why they are saying it. They say it just for the sake of saying it. Or sometimes they say it out of emotions especially when they feel hard about something though they still cannot explain why they are against this or that. If there was no WHY in this world, donkeys would have been wise enough to lead or teach at the International and local universities
N and O are two letters
In the English alphabet
They sit side by side
They are good neighbours
When you add them up
They make the word "NO"
So light it is to write
So heavy it is to say
While O is coughed off from the throat
N is scratched from the roof of the mouth
Your tongue would press the ceiling
And so it gets ejected from its seat
Different people say "NO" differently
Some say it as a way of assertion
Others say it as a way of defence
Some others say it as a way of rejection
It is everybody's right to say "NO"
But you cannot exercise it as you wish
Say “NO” only when you know "WHY"
Otherwise ............
Hi Abdi, many days I don't want to read any poetry because my mood is foul, however, whenever I'm notified that you have written afew more sage words. I cannot say NO. Peace, love, and blessings Brother "A".
Stay as wise as the wind.
A great thought-provoking write. In today's modern world it is little confusing when the new generation says no when they mean yes. I enjoyed your viewpoint.

New Poetry by Abdi-Noor Haji Mohamed (Eagle Of Hope)
Major League ballplayer Justin Moore is kidnapped from his own ballpark and transported to a foreign land. It might take high-level international negotiations to free him. Or maybe he will take matters into his own hands.

Yet again, dear brother, you speak with the wisdom of the ancients, visually and powerfully. (I especially loved the third stanza.)
Well done!
