Nothing will end war unless the people themselves refuse to go to war.

~Albert Einstein

In rush people are packing
Bullets are flying overhead
Bombs are going off in the road
Explosions are on the increase
Looting is rampant in the city

When caught in war as deadly as this one
People complain of having nowhere to stay
But they have somewhere to flee from war
Not like Somalis who have no escape route
As neighbors have slammed doors in their face

In the South Somalia borders with Kenya
But Kenya is busy with election campaign
She needs no Somali influx in their country
Sea voyage to Yemen is extremely perilous
People perish en mass as their boats capsize

Somalis are locked in a jail of horror
Gasping for a breath like a dying kid
As they stampede in the crowded cells
Pleading with the prison guard to show mercy
Unknowing that he is in a deep slumber
Piercing the smoky air with his sharp snores
