LuCkY Posted September 27, 2003 he stands barefoot in the snow, starved from lack of food, wounded from months of battle and emotionally scarred from the eternity away from his family surrounded by nothing but death and the destruction of the war. he stands tough, with fire in his eyes and victory on his breath, he looks at us now in anger and disgust and tell us this.................. "i gave you a birthright to freedom born in the constitution and now your children graduate too illiterate to read it. i fought in the heat of desert barefoot to give you the freedom to live peacefully in your country and to speak and stand up for what you believe in. i left my family behind in a destitute to give you the freedom of speech and you remain silent on critical issues because it might offend your family or might be a bad business. i orphaned my children to give you a government to serve you and it has stolen the freedom from the people. it is the soldier not the reporter who gives you the freedom of the press. it is the soldier not the poet who gives you the freedom of the speech. it is the soldier not the revolution organizer who allows you to demonstrate. it's the soldier who salutes the flag, serves the flag whose nahash is covered with the flag that allows the protester to burn that flag." P.S. this poem is dedicated to all those soldiers who sacrificed everything above all who sacrificed their lives so that me and you could be born free, and how sad it is to see the way we honored those dead soldiers by destroying the same country that they dedicated their dear lives to. rest in peace my beloved SOMALI FREEDOM FIGHTERS.

NIN_NOOL Posted October 4, 2003 I The Words Of Thy Ancestors, I The Words Of Thy Ancestors, Summoned by the spirits of thy ancestors. Of those who have entered the rights of passage. I shall continue, to Carry the torch. Those who have come and gone. The lights that will never Burn out. The voices cry from the womb, there are no greater weapons, than mercy and hope, there is only one peace, and love first to thy almighty, and secondly to thy land and people, Primordial wisdom and truce. Through the tabernacle of strength, shall render the capacity, Of knowledge , wisdom and Understanding. Truth to self, the memories, legacy, self sacrifice, to thy land and people. Let thy wisdom sing as a wave of a rock. Shall ring the bells of deliverance. Resistance assimilations of the universe. Genocide by its own right hands. The mission upon the land of the lost. Death by rotten roots. Life is death within the spoken tongue, all things Band together and all shall connect. I am not dead the voices cry beyond the womb. See the spirits of creations, Through birth, visualizations of creations, Through a microscope the dead is not dead, Death is life and life is death. The truth is in the fires of man. Breath of thy ancestors tree. I the resurrection of life. The seed you sow Is the seed you know Actions speak louder than words. It is not what you say But what you do. Is what I see in you So listen my people The time is now to raise your voices. The time is now to make your choices. The time is now to speak the truth. The time is now to offer reproof. The time is now to make your peace. The time is now to beg for release. The time is now to be who you are. The time is now to be a Star. The time is now to fight the fight. The time is now for Souls of Light. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
