Who is in Charge?

It is hard to lose your personality simply because you want a seat in the parliament which represents the interests of tribes. That is why it is difficult to know who leads the country: The president, the parliament or a bunch of clan elders , warlords and religious extremists who all have their roots in the destructive clans system of somalia.

Sizzling in the pan of ignorance
Is the very psyche of a leader
Who exists only as a person
But lives without a personality
As he ascended to power
Not by virtue of his vision
But by the power of his clan
Who in the shadow of his tears
Keeps him a hostage of his own fate

Hi Eagle of Hope, Very well written! These "leaders" are primed from very young which "keeps him hostage of his own fate". Very profound write... thank you for sharing.... stay strong...

In Spirit,

Do they ever think of the people they are supposed to be looking out for. The answer is obviously NO.

Could be said of those in high office, here, (((Abdi-Noor))) - ignorant. They have no clue of what the "common" folk are going through. Sad. :(

(((HUGS))) love and prayer, Karla.

Many who sit on the high platforms are ignorant people. I hope everything will turn for the better soon in your country.

Take care.

A very wise man but also a very pessimist one gave us, a long long time ago, a parameter for todays problems and remedy, "things in life will hit rock bottom before it gets better"
We see it in Sudan, Zimbabwe, Somalia, North Korea,Congo, Pakistan...should I say more?

Who exists only as a person,
But lives without a personality

That is an extremely sad thing, no matter who we are - leader or follower.
