New born babies in Somalia face hunger and war soon as they are delivered. While we feel happy with those children being born in a peaceful country, we must also take a look at those being born in chaotic countries, like Somalia, who perish before they celebrate their first anniversary. We should raise our voice to advocate the right of children to be born free, enjoy peace and grow up in a descent environment.
With hearts as clean as a new slate
They stretch their arms for freedom
But only anarchy is waiting to kiss
Do our children deserve this?
They are two unborn sisters
Sisters in the womb of love
Speaking of love in telepathy
Kicking the walls of the dark
Yearning to touch life in life
But deeply afraid of being born
In a nation that had gone crazy
They are a Somali twin of peace
Being delivered in a land of war
Denied to hope before they begin to hope

So sad these words you write here dear man..please be well and safe..Hugss
Atrocities such as this should not be happening, yet sadly it is and there are no advocates to speak for the children born to unjust wars, starvation in countries all around this planet. Such a sad state of affairs with no ending in sight....
We are leaving a world of hate and disarray as a heritage to those children that had the misfortune to survive, because they will grow with the sole experience of war, intolerance, need, and very little of love as they see their parents slaughteres or just dying of hunger because they gave the last piece of bread so they offspring could survive another day.

We, as residents of this planet, should be advocating that for all innocent children, no matter where they are being born on Earth.
