From inside the burning house
Comes a plea for an urgent help
The roof is falling over family
There are bullets flying over
There are rockets landing on them
There is hunger killing children
Ferrying of food quite impossible
As sea is infested with pirates
Somalia is crying out for rescue
But rescuer is fumbling around
Looking for the keys to move in
While the door is open for him
Allah Kariim
Allah is Merciful

Abdi-Noor, for Somlaia to experience the peace of God. To our collective shame, atrocities are committed in God's name. To our hope, people who stand to call for peace in God's name....
Keep standing, my friend. God is listening. Fergus
this is the gravel in the guts message that no one on the African continent is listening to -- Somalia's neighboring countries have turned her a deaf ear as has the U.N. -- peace and love to you my dear friend Abdi-Noor, the emissary for world peace -- JMW
Hardhitting reality for your people, Abdi-noor; it just breaks my heart! I will continue to keep you, your family, your nation, in my prayers/thoughts!
(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend/sister in America, Karen Lynn in Texas. :( >tears! <
I will say to any good Muslim, what happen in Somalia is not, I repeat, is not Allah's will.
If those warring muslims were as merciful as Allah, Somalia wouldn't have experience war, famine and genocide.
This breaks the heart ... cleaves it in two. Powerfully penned sadness - you, your family, your people, your Nation are in my prayers - wish I could do more -
Pain and heartache in this touching write Abdi-Noor. My heart aches for you and your people. I have you and them in my prayers and soon I hope they will be answered. Love and hugs, Bonnie
