Naag Xun is a Somali word for a" bad woman"

Today is father's day
But Ali has no father
His father passed away
Before he married mom

Though born out of love
He hasn't received love
His birth brought shame
His mother was despised
She ran away for safety

They gave her bad names
They call her Naag Xun
The pain is quite heavy
No one can bear with it
It is a sore in the soul

The child was born without a father
Now he is growing withoiut a mother
He is an unfortunate African child
He is a victim of cultural beliefs

I agree with Susan below!

These cultural prejudices are unconscionable, but no matter how we rail against this, it never changes. It seems like certain parts of the world are bloody cursed.

This was very poignant!

Very sad for Abdi! I hope he gains enough confidence to for a good future for himself. Forget sins of the past that he has no control over, rather, look forward to building up his own future.
