We are the Iraq in the Horn
we are at war with everybody.

Actually, Abdi the story of Iraq is somewhat different. Our tragedy, however, has neither a head nor a tail. And yes I do agree with the second line, we are at war with everybody. May Allah change our hearts before we become totally extinct.

Walaalkiis, Poem is outstanding.

Sadly powerful, Abdi-Noor. Love and peace to you,

This is outstanding. While you do not refer to this piece as a haiku/senryu, it clearly is of that ilk, packing a heavy, powerful punch in such a concise manner.
You have condensed all the loneliness, senselessness and sadness of war.
Exceptional work, my friend.

VERY SHORT, BUT POWERFUL! THE PEOPLE IN THE HORN OF AFRICA ARE AT WAR WITH EVERYONE. SOMALIS ARE FIGHTING FELLOW SOMALIS. SOMALIS ARE FIGHTING NEIGHBORING COUNTRIES. THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY IS INVOLVED IN THIS FIGHT IN A NEGATIVE WAY. THEY ARE SUPPORTING GROUPS OR MAKING IT EASY FOR THE WAR TO CONTINUE BY FINANCING, ARMING, ENCOURAGING OR FACILITATING THE POLITICAL ATMOSPHERE FOR THE CONTINUATION OF THE WAR IN THE HORN.

THANK YOU ABDINOOR. I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOUR WISDOM. YOU ARE THE GREATEST SOMALI POET. KEEP POSTING. THANKS.

Truly sad, Abdi-Noor.

I feel so much lonliness and isolation within these two short lines.

I suppose it's all in how you read it...I read it knowing your passion for peace.

Be careful then, we don't want to lose you. Victor
