Some people whom I know to be engaged in filthy political business approached me to become a member of their tribal based faction. I just refused their offer. But that didn't amuse them. They vowed that I should pay the price of rejection. Anyway there is no love lost between us and I am prepared to face whatever trouble they might come up with.
He speaks of neatness
When he is unkempt
Untidy and rumpled
And his hair uncombed
He speaks of order
When he is tousled
Tangled and messy
He preaches of peace
When he is a warlord
Inciting the people
Breaking love bonds
Spreading hatred and evil
He is the leader of Devil’s revelry
Hell is his party’s headquarters
In it he breeds cinders of fire
Wickedness and malevolence
Are the criteria of membership
Cruelty is their badge of honor
They call me to their evil party
But evil has no space in my heart
I believe in Allah, The Creator
You made your choice wisely, Abdi-Noor. Where their is peace, and love, and kindness, and faith in our hearts...there is no room for evil.You will be blessed by Allah/God.
A powerful write, Abdi-Noor. Stay strong and stay well.
Peace. Joyce

That is the way of this world, join evil or pay. But God is love and abhors iolence. I hope you will be kept safe by God/Allah, call Him what you want. Me, I come from Malta. My first language is Maltese not English. So in Malta we pray to God, but the translation of that word is "Alla". Surprised? Victor
Brother please stay stong. We lost many great people to tribalism in Somalia. I pray Allah to keep you safe. You will be in my prayers in this holy month of Ramadan.
Brother Abdi-Noor , please, please, stay strong and stay safe. My prayers are with you and yours. I am not a Muslim, however, "NAMASKA, The God in me salutes and honors the God in you." Please take care as Baba and I are looking forward to meeting you in person. As Salaam Aleikum. Shalom, Paz. <Mikii-n-Baba>
