I like the stark lines here, they lend themself to the way of life you are discribing. Well written poem.
As one who suffers from extreme migraines, they can and do come from all of the above.

The hardship of poverty would invite many an aversion .. Oh Abdi-Noor, when will the world wake up to such inequalities and realize the inseparability of ourselves. When one is suffering WE ARE ALL SUFFERING ... but oh, the blindness of ignorance keeps us indifferent and therefore unable to act!!
I just posted a poem called: 'Warning' ... I'd appreciate you stopping by.
Love, Suzie

Excellent description of the hard work done by Somali mothers. Low income, Limited support and unlimited workload are the causes of this type of headache. I like Kimmy's reference to the decaffinated coffee. In this part of the world, we are very lucky if we can get a cup of tea or coffee. In fact, Decaf is an issue of choice, exercised by the rich in Western countries. The people Abdinoor is talking about live below $1 a day! The work they do is unpaid. Jinni is therefore the result of depression.

Thank you brother Abdinoor.

Sometimes I feel like the first verse...and I have felt like the second, although I don't think I can sit here and compare, but the third verse defines it all, sometimes we just need a java fix to rid of all the "jinni", aching in our heads! Smiles! (I can attest to this, just switching over to decaff recently LOL!)
Enjoyed the the twist~ Abdi
Hope you are well! Blessings~
Love and Peace~

This sounds like tension to me. Here in America, we call it stress. Everyone seems to be under such stress today. Why, call it what you may, There is no peace in the hearts of men. Until we learn to live in peace it will continue. There is always something pulling at us; like the baby at your breast. Stop, think, put it in the hands of God, Allah as you call him. He is the only one now who can change things. It is all in his hands, it always was and it always will be. Marguerite

I hate headaches more than any other malady, and I find your 'jinni' reference fascinating, Abdi-Noor.
