I was today interviewed at the US Embassy in Djibouti to get a visa. They rejected on the basis of a justifiable refusal.
Where I expected water
I only found a mirage
Where I expected rain
I found a thick mist
Guess what I mean sir
It is the visa I applied
A big NO was given to me
I could not carry it alone
I thought I needed a Taxi
But that wasn't possible
A bigger space was needed
I tried a pick up 4WD
Even though we squeezed in
Still there was no space for NO
Thinking of what I should do next
An idea dawned on me like daybreak
It brightened my soul with delight
Paitience was the vehicle I needed
I and my NO fitted so well inside
And had a fantastic ride to my house
When NO explodes in your face
Don't lose your tempers easily
Just observe P A I T I E N C E

I hope that you can understand their reasons which I hope they could explain to you. Lady J
I am sory for this inappropriate decision on your visa application. It was my hope to listen to your wisdom and insight. In fact, I was making arrangements for your welcome party here in Columbus so that we can be together to discuss peace and reconciliation in Somalia.
I am sorry for this unfortunate decision and I beleive that you are the most deserving human being on earth for a travel visa.
Your attitude is amazing. Just Observe Patience.
Thank you brother.
I don't understand why Abdi Noor!!I'm sorry to hear this! You have a superb attitude, and I think you should try again. Perhaps it will change. I pray it does!

Life is full of disappointments, but I admire you for being patient. Victor
Patience truly is a virtue, and it truly is something very much lacking in our hustle bustle 'on demand' world today, but I'm very sorry to hear your news, Abdi-Noor.
Sorry but don't give up. I read you loud and clear. (I been there--did that. ///////we all are living in a cut throat society. Keep your eyes on Jesus -- He's been there too for you and me.Marguerite
I'm so sorry, Abdi-Noor. I had hoped to meet you in person and I know that the work you would have done here is vital. But...I greatly admire your mature and gracious attitude in the face of disappointment. You are truly a gentleman.
Love,
Susan
