So little is known of the real Somalia to those outside it's borders. But with scribes such as you to enlighten us, we can catch a glimpse of what must be a living hell at times. I suspect that many other nations going through similar troubles would also see themselves in your words. Informative and creative write Abdi

A nation that lives within the darkness of its own destruction, the poor man shall be the one who sits at the masters table and the rich man shall hold the door. Oh what is flesh when the spirit is the beholder of God. The savior who died upon the cross many cry, but the flesh felt the pain but the spirit lives beyond Gods arm. Let not the scars of the world dictate thy treasures. The dead is not dead the spirit lives on. Oh the mighty wisdom of thy God. Wisdom to know and the wisdom to apply. What a greatful spirit that lives beyond the sky. Life is death and death is life. Oh the nation of tears shall have no back door, for thy God is God alone. Let not the scars of the wound dictate the precious heart of the thrown, for God is the medicine for all. Faith and the transition of the savior who and still feel the same pain.
