I am Somalia - little Fatima's amazing poem

[Paragon]

I Am Somalia

I am dark red

blood coming

from my family

and country.

 

I am a sad girl

who was only a

baby when she

saw a war.

 

I am a sad girl

from where gangsters

came at night

and stole what-

ever they wanted.

 

I am a girl

who hasn’t

seen her country

But I am also

a mother who

tells her daughter

about her country.

 

I am a place

where people

like to eat meat, and

I am a country

where some

people sell

fruits in the street.

 

I am a girl

with mysteries

behind a door that

I don’t

know about.

 

I am as

big as I can

be and

small.

 

I am a mango-

eating machine.

 

I am Somalian as

Somalian I am.
