Raxmah Posted July 24, 2003 This poem made me cry, I thought I should share it. It was written my A somali women. I hope to see Somalia peaceful again, Inshallah lets pray for those in need and for those who are suffering from in pain and agony. I am the one who is so poor I am the one who is so miserable Can anyone feel my misery? I am the one who feels a pain, a harsh pain in my heart I am the one who suffers disappointment everyday, every hour, every minute. Do you feel that pain? I am the one who has to bury my own children My innocent and helpless children Bury her own children Do you understand how it feels to bury Innocent and helpless children I am the one who is injured and has to treat my own injuries I am the one who has to wipe my own tears. Do you know how it hurts when you are ..... injured I am the one who watches bleeding bodies, Needy hands, tearful eyes, and broken hearts every second I am the one who has to wake up with the sound of weapons Have you ever..... Touched bleeding bodies, dried tearful eyes, felt needy hands Heard the terrible sounds of weapons I am the one who lives alone, who is not alive, who is not dead I am the one who is helpless Have you ever felt you are ..... helpless, alone I am the one whose heart is broken and whose eyes are tearful I am the one who has gone with the wind Has anyone ever broken your heart? Where are my children, my innocent and helpful children? Why have they left me alone? How does a mother feel when she looses her children? Do you know..... How a mother feels when she sees the empty bed, the tiny clothes..... Where are my lovely nights and pleasant morning? Where is my sky, my blue and bright sky? Who will help me? Who will treat my injuries? Come my lovely children, Don't leave me alone, Don't forget me. Do you know who I am? I am a mother. I am the one who lost my child The battle for power continues And the innocent pay for it WHY? .....Because some are too greedy..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
