Day 5 - Poetry by Nasima ''Still No Tears for Somalia''

My name is Nasima, I’m a 19 year old performing poet and I’m currently about to study Politics and English Literature at University. I believe that we were all put on this Earth for a purpose. I have recently discovered my purpose and I believe this to be part of revolutionizing this Dunya in order to attain solid peace. I want to share this task I have at hand through my writing. My poetry. This particular piece was written to highlight the exact attrocities the stunning country Somalia is facing. It saddens me quite deeply to learn that the world had forgotten that She was in great trouble before the devastating droughts had hit Her. This piece is based on hardlined facts to make YOU remember every single awful detail of Her ordeal. Please remember Her in your prayers and most importantly please kindly donate to Her in abundance.

Thank you.

Still No Tears for Somalia.

Scorching sun silently slaying,

Still No Tears for Somalia.

Drastic droughts defying dreams,

Still No Tears for Somalia.

Children chillingly churning away,

Still No Tears for Somalia.

Women whispering wails; “WHY”,

Still No Tears for Somalia.

Babies bellowing badly but,

Still No Tears for Somalia.

Malnutrition mindlessly mauling millions,

Still No Tears for Somalia.

Decades of dry days destroying,

Still No Tears for Somalia.

Please pay Pounds,

Deliver your Dollars,

Elongate your Euros,

To a nation needing no more horrors.

Tackle the turmoil,

Help Her heal,

Learn to be loyal to fellow humans,

I beg you to please feel.

Spread the Tears of Somalia,

Let there be some tears for Somalia.
