OH MY HEART, WEEP NO MORE

Waris, a Somali girl living in Kenya on refugee status, decides to return to war-torn Somalia to trace her missing boyfriend back home. Upon leaving she tells her heart to look for its other heart and to maintain courage and patience during the search.


OH MY HEART OH VICTIM OF WAR
TREMENDOUSLY WRONGED
ARE THOSE LIKE YOU IN
CONFLICT SITUATIONS
DIRTY WARS ACROSS THE MOTHERLAND
SENT LOVE HEARTS FAR APART

OH MY HEART OH VICTIM OF WAR
TRAGEDY BEFELL IN SOMALIA
MANY TOOK UP THE PEN
FEW TALKED ABOUT YOU
SOME REPORTED DAILY TOLL ONLY
OTHERS NARRATED EVIL STORIES

THE DEAD AND THE INJURED
THE LOOTED AND THE DESTROYED
THE DEFEATED AND THE VICTORIOUS
ALL MADE UP THE DAY’S NEWS
THE PLIGHT OF DIVIDED HEARTS
SEEN UNFIT IN THE INTERNATIONAL WIRES

OH MY HEART OH VICTIM OF WAR
YOUR TWIN HEART IS MISSING
GO SEARCH FOR HIM DESPITE CHAOS AND STRIFE
GO SEARCH FOR HIM AMID ROCKET FIRE
GO STRONG. GET NOT DISCOURAGED
GO TOUGH. GET NOT EXAHAUSTED.GIVE UP NEVER

OH MY HEART OH VICTIM OF WAR
WISH GOD’S BLESSING
WALK IN THE DESSERT
WIN YOUR HEART BACK
WEEP NO MORE
WEEP NO MORE

I think I read this earlier today, and commented on it. It is a rare and much needed glimpse into the reality of war, and the real costs to the individual. Well done.

This write touched me deeply. Thank you for the additional information that helps to set the stage for the poem. This brings to light another side of war.
