tough to compete with these guys :up: but mine is strictly free style, no rehearsals, no search for words

haye, haye, haye
was the word that flashsed on the daily
living and standing on xaafada luuqyadeeda
my hand straped to my head
fearing the macalin dugsi for the day
and not wanting to spend it alone in a hole for hours
i rather sip and sit, walk and enjoy
the breeze and the weather
stopping by the side and standing at the street
seeing all the beautities walk and talk
glances, winks, and all the kodeck moments
all the models and girls that would make african models retire
all the filled up buses, the noises, the reer magaal and reer guuraa and reer baadiye
all in one joint, one bus, with all the accents and dialects, all the colors and shades
all the makes and models like cars made in foreign countries
but my favorite is going to the farthest corner
awya from all the noises and busing
and the crowded streets
all the yelling and teaching and correcting
and 'war reer baadiyaahan daya' 'nacalaa waxaa tahay'
all the 'kaalay' 'xaa tiri' 'afaa dhugaa' 'anaa jaamac'
mine was where few hang out and few showed up
mine was renting a motorcycle
so i could explore more, and see more
and encircle xamar corner to corner
all the xaafada kasaay, madiino,
wardheegley, and seeing
more till my gapped mouth
is shut by the crossing wind
and my face is frozen
with the tires, exhausted,
and the pollution
from the foornooyin
from the gas station
from the unpaved streets
and that is my country
Somalia!!

Hadaa hada la eego
Wadada aad hada mariso
Maad is leedahay wey ku ficantahay?
Mise meel iska qurun bey tahay?

Dad fic ficaan waad weeyaysa
Kuwi xunxun waad la ciyaareysa
Raves iyo baadhi baad qabneysa
Waad isla qaawineysa
Cunta xaaran baad cuneysa
Khamri laakiin waad diideysa
‘Waa xaaran’ baad oreyneysa
Guriga late baad soo galeysa
Hoyo miyaad dhageysaneysa?
May dheh, ileen Aabona waad la ceytameysa

Labadaba wey ku sanifiyaan
Guriga bey kaa tuureyaan
Waxaad la saxaneysa saxiibta Ayaan
Ti iska waalwaalan
Drugs iyo baaleeyo bey kugu shubeysa
Adigana maad diideysa?

Sarirta baad la fadhida
Yadana rollkii bey ku haysa
Adigana cod baad maqleysa
Cid ba kula hadleeya

Qof subconscious leydhaaho

Muxu leeyahey talow?

When have you thought of home?
When I feel
When I smell
The sinister presence
Of the predator called (qabiil)

When have you thought of home?
After rain, the forest's sleek,
Between the pines, the moon startles my heart.
I smile and think of home, I had barely known
A foreign guest in a foreign land

This is Part TWO of a Five Part Story-Poem I am writing.The over all piece deals with Somalia and how the events in that country have affected people, particularly the family in this poem. It might be a bit confusing in the beginning but the overall piece will makes sense.


Habibi:

Mogadishu seemed like Kabul
Scenting of corpses and myrrh
Reflecting images of horror
Similar to those of Rwanda

In an instance
Our world collapsed
Armageddon seemed upon us
The end was near

Houses caved in,
Succumbing to sheer force
To the power of propellers,
Piercing flesh and bricks

BOOM…..

Death paid an unexpected visit to me that day
My dreams captured our acquaintance
In a different setting,
A later time with life lived
We would be lying in bed,
Of old age, surrounded by kin
In sync, their foreheads would touch the floor
Their black skin against the bare cement in prayer
And we, hand in hand
Would recite our final testimony in peace

I lost my love on a Sunday
He gasped for his last breathe
And I could feel the world shake
I was told even kings die
So that day, I did not cry

Rockets hit the roof
Ripping our house in two
One landed on his bed
As he dreamt of me, I’m sure
I could barely walk
Yet managed to reach him
Ahmed cried Aabo,
Aabo get up,
Come back together Aabo
A boy needs his father
His lifeline is his mother
His life is his father

However, Habibi laid there motionless
Blood streamed from his chest
Reaching his amputated half
Bones shattered to pieces
His body disfigured
Some there, and some over there
I lost my Husband on a Sunday

Like cruel mothers who kill their unborn
Evil has no shame
It has no face
It only kills
Blackening the hearts of man
Burying bodies six feet deep

What is the barrier between you and my fathers?
I sit behind the computer trying to imagine my fathers mind.
Real men, so called Rag are hard to find.
And when I thought my lyrics would put me on their level I was wrong.
Oh mother! Our fathers have watched your bleeding for much too long.

The ancient world believed that in Th Horn was a poetic stream.
It would sometimes stop running but a legend would rise.
Drink from it?
So your blood stream can hold beautiful replies.
Drink!
So Your lungs would cry to become the long lost winner.
Grasping words pull out my soul's inner.
My words are to uplift the shiftless sinner.

As my own eyes are a witness I drank from the rivers of poetry.
Sweat dripped from my forehead and one drip each story.
This, this is for the people of the Horn and their eternal glory
As I sit on the river bank with Somalia I converse.
No more could I take it. No more…….
I yearn for a maternal nurse?
She said relax son of mine and drip poetry verse by verse.
Here I am, drip poetry my son.
Poets have awoken and the lyrical war begun.
I dripped my best poem yet: "put down the gun"ً
As wild hyenas and all types lizards gather.
Asking what is this barrier between you and your father?
Giraffe's lower long necks that were never lowered before;
I spray majestic words as the animal kingdom hits the floor.
Yet all are aware there is no harm done by a lyrical war.
A lyrical war! It's a lyrical war.
Put down the guns but let poet be moving
Let poets be clear le their writings be soothing

I gasp for air but the heavens somehow feel pity.
Oh Allah!
Let Rain cover the Reer baadiye in each war torn city.
Smiles from the heavens cast down as poets start to recite.
All animals roar: Put down your guns it's a lyrical fight!


Drop the guns Somalia.

Sadeboi appeared, respect. Keep it coming.

As I said let poets appear.
Where are the gentle words that cover me in fear?
"One day Somalia will be strong" said in the softest tone.
Somalia is 'original' where others are a clone.
One religion, one culture and a million fights for the throne;

Camel milk and meat respected.
Unnecessary conflicts erected.
Though my soul has a passport from the Horn;
My birth-certificate saying "under a tree he was born"
The land where nomads sleep between their herds;
The land of green grass and desert with green birds;
The land of hospitality and broad smiles;
The land where history is kept in Oral files,
Who wouldn’t travel to his Mother if removed a thousand miles.

Give me a gabay that makes me soar.
I want to be in baadiyo in1904.
Slow down history and show me a star and everything in blue and white.
I want to be the stone carrier when Xaawo threw.
I want to be those two friends that didn't know their clan
And the qabiil never knew.
I want to know what the Indian Ocean thinks of the red sea.
How can the world not see, from your mother you can hardly flee?
How can I explain how I lean on the Gurac tree?
But my clan and family tree lean on me.
Shakespeare must have been in Somalia when he said "to be or not to be"
Heart of the world Somalia with poetry as her beat.
One day you will return to your land in victory or defeat.

Oh mother do you still bleed or shall I recite till the walls of Mogadishu can hear.
Shall I keep reciting until poets appear?
Until my words form a stream in Kismaayo in the shape of a tear.
She said: yes, yes, but let the poets be clear.
She said: let their reply be one and their tongues coincide.
Let their thoughts agree like an ocean with a single tide.

Let Somalia be one ……………….
this is just incredible kool dude :up:

They asked for poetry on the net.
To be recited and felt, to make the dry eyes wet.
So I hit them from the Horn with an Ahmed Gurey line.
But I must have been hurt or truly upset.
Because I yelled
I can't take this. No more! No more
No more sad stories from the camel's paradise.
Moreover no more torn hearts and lies;
Somalia is over it, NO MORE, please, no more lies.
No more Soldiers in scholarly disguise
No more democracy in un-Islamic dress.
My father created chaos and I have been named a mess


Presidents sing Somaaliyeey toostooy.
Turn around and take away our mother's joy.
Take away Mother Somalia and the apple of her eye.
Oh mother how many leaders have made you cry?
Here is what she said to me this was her reply.
Out of chaos comes order and the Ignorant jaahil must one day learn.
The economy of the Heart is in Islam and the deeds that you earn.
As I turned around the youth of the today yell Burn mofo burn.
But yet to god belong the earth and the Indian Ocean.
My sisters have been killed and raped in silence………
And my land spiraled into brotherly commotion.
Why, why oh why is to violence our devotion?
Talent wasted like over turned glasses.
Infectious disagreement given to Somalia by the worldly masses;
External damage from domestic clashes;
This is what happens when the moral hard-drive crashes.
Somalia.com/qabiil&hate/war&rape with undless slashes.

Oh mother Somalia do you bleed like me or did your wounds heal.
Could you show me those old pictures of you in rest?
hundred years ago when no disease were in our breast;
She screamed " nin rag iska dhig" as she held me closely to her age old chest.

She said: ninka ragaga eh waa ninka hooyadiis ixtiraamo and knows that he is blessed.

Let the poets appear. Let the poets be clear
Okey your obviously talented, this one was also great :up:
