Hibo Posted April 18, 2002 Barta Afkiini hooyo! Somali poetry has a cool format but it is not rhyming when you try in English. I will try to create a new poem here(Hal abuur). Here goes my try: Am I not Somali Am I not Proud Am I not Muslim Did I not put these lines one after the other just like when I shift the gears in my car? Did I not proudly proclaim who I am? Speeches are Speeches but they are different in rank and style and to day let me pour out the highest quality speeches. Am I not the one who left Somalia by my self? Am I not the one who came to England 1988 like a destitue refugee? Did I not struggle and rise from position to position, indeed did I not excell in school? Warsame in Wembley, Samatar in Southall and all Somalis South of the northpole who can deny the way I excelled in school and life? Did not people try to sidetrack me with Qabiil and qadhmuun? Did not most men chew themselves into a coma? Did not our woman lose their culture? Muusow did we not suffer in the world to whcih we arrived? Did we not become the bottom of society? What did the pride of the clan do for us in London? What benefit did it have? Surely you must say none! Did I not put these lines one after the other just like when I shift the gears in my car? Did I not proudly exclaim who I am? Speeches are Speeches but they are different in rank and style and today let me pour out the highest quality speeches. Am I not the one to say no to drugs and vice? Am I not the one who people call "wanaagsane"? Am I not the one all woman want? Did I not proclaim the woman of my dreams in the middle of the wedding? Did I not show courage unlike the Coward? Did I not did I not, Did I not falsely think I was in love? Warsame new the stupidity of my action did he not falsely led me to believe Ilhaan loved me oh my friends where I not heartbroke when my dream turned false, did I not learn from Cilmi Bodhari and his flight?Did I not start to look all over London for a new wife? Just like the poet Gun iyo Baar eeg did I not look up and down on each woman to learn here charachter and style? Am I not now happy and alone? Did I not stop looking for love? Surely life is a lesson and I have learned alot in my time in London. Let me not let the poem drag on I will bring it to an end, Five life events, Five woman and Fiften thousand Uk pounds later, have I not Favouravly Fluently and with Finess told you my lives story? Indeed I have flied across the world let me ones rest and ride my Faras in the plains of faaf! that was my try Now you try one poem kiddo! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
