Thierry Henry is a fantastic Arsenal striker(14)who very much enjoys the support of millions of soccer lovers not only in the peaceful areas but also in the war-ravaged countries such as Somalia.


Poem Artwork

The day after the war within factions
When the sound of flying bullets died
People returned to their settlements
To see if their houses were destroyed
Or ransacked by marauding militia
Or reduced to rubble by the rockets
I was among the apprehensive returnees

On my way to the area
I saw people like me
Feeling the same pain with me
Having the same worry with me
We all wished our houses safe and sound
But they were far from safety’s way
The area was just a scene of horror
We carefully went through billowing smoke
As we tiptoed over the smoldering wood
A cloud of sadness had hovered our faces
But in the eyes of a little boy I saw an alien mood
I asked him what sparked off that fire of joy
With the sparkle glowing deep in his eyes
He replied "my Arsenal T-shirt has not been burgled"
On the back it had the mark of N0. 14
Does Thierry Henry Know about this?

Sad write, Abdi-noor; but a powerful lesson contained therein. Very well done; you are always in my thoughts and prayers! Stay safe, dear "Brother"!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend/sister in America, Karen Lynn in Texas. :(

Sad, all fottballer are richly paid. Millions die of hunger. And fotball (or soccer for US) is not that clean these days. Too many scandals. Victor

But in the eyes of a little boy I saw joy
His Arsenal T-shirt had not been burgled

A truly sad piece, Abdi-Noor - if only we adults could learn from children such as this one.
