Somaliland my Shining Country
Somaliland my shining country
My spirit of life that keeps me going
Day and night I picture u in my heart
Wishing I was in my own land
Wishing I was setting under big gum trees
No need to turn on air-condition
or heater no air pollution
Just laying there enjoying Somalia’s natural weather
It’s a country gifted by Allah natural resources
No food chemical & food engineering
warm milk that has being milked from a cow
fresh meat slaughtered the same day
Fresh vegetables
Together we are indefinable nation
Full of energy & educated people
I have being to so many countries
Seen new technology & so-called modern world
Yet there is no place like home
The true nature, its fresh resources & unique life
Are unchallengeable
Or Perhaps we are not all that?..
I ask myself every minute
If Somalia/Somaliland is a gift from Allah
Why are we enemies?
Why are we so ignorant?
Why can’t we say Alhamdulilah & get on life?
Why do we have to divide ourselves?
We share one religion & one culture
Yet we fighting
We are educated people yet can’t civilise
We say we not tribalists yet that’s all we talk about
We say we want peace but yet we are not doing anything about it
We say we Muslims but yet obeying tribalism
We live in foreigner countries together
Still the problems exist because we fight over a country that is not ours stating that west is better then east and east is better the south.
My heart breaks to see our people like this
They live in one country, yet
Every tribe lives in different suburbs
We educate our kid’s about tribalism instead of Islam
We want no other different tribe to mix with us
I wonder when this corruption will ever end?
We say we are not hopeless yet we are actionless
what is our future?
I sit here wondering
If Somaliland my Shining country
will ever recover?
I have one hope
For Allah to re-unite our hearts
and to open our eyes to reality
