2010SOMALIA

 

I want to restore from the start To the beat of my heart Our Land of nature, culture and spoken art The land of poets, beauty and the brave But now a baby born feels enslaved Where is the blue and white flag we use to wave Where is our freedom? I longed to feel safe We need protection from this misery Absence of our home leads us to feeling miserably Our energy and force has been placed on pause I want to move forward when we have beaten this cause Or rewind back to relive my childhood and yours A country, known to be perfection, Now its detailed with flaws Failing of our Opportunities Exposed our country to negative scrutiny O Allah help us regain unity I know a house is not a home Truly this land is not my own O Somalia we should never have parted I want to restore where I started.
