Night Time in Mogadishu

In the capital city of Mogadishu, Somalia, saying "Good night" is quite heavy. It is more than two words because between 2:00 and 3:00 AM the Mogadishu sky rains mortar rockets. So there is a message of fear laced just the within these two words when you say good night to a loved one. There might be a possibility that a strayed rocket would land on your house, giving you no chance to say good night again to a friend.

Nighttime in Mogadishu
Nightmare of the people
Nightly spray of bullets
The Life of a dead night

Time of horror and shock
Of war and bombardments
Of exchanging rocket fire
The hope of a hopeless night

Canons kill not the culprit
Cause tragedy to the poor
Take the life of children
Make death a mere entertainment

Sorrow grips the heart and anger at the futility of war that, as you say, seems to hurt everyone but the ones at fault. Excellent Abdi Noor...

Keep safe. And keep telling the world about the hell Somalia is in so that there might be peace at last.
