Fabregas_Bruv Posted December 15, 2009 In this land, guerrillas and warlord militias fight over dirt pavilions Slowly reducing the nation to genocide and oblivion Most victims thought to be children and civilians Sea being poisoned and leased to Mafioso Sicilians Famine estimated at the thousands and millions We need help; we need trillions Meanwhile, Barracko is sending blessed arms by the billions In this land, a tragedy is unfolding in slow motion Some cry; Some show no emotion Migrants run from town and the flee the commotion But some are found drowned beneath the oceans From poverty, they could find no promotion In this land, misery seems like a devotion In this land, Nomads lead simple lives herding camels and goats Fisherman became pirates, hijacking boats School kids became Militants and started making a living hacking throats Mothers were forced to feed their kids on Oats I tried to capture this tragedy in my notes Audiences couldn’t bear it, so they reached for their remotes Meanwhile, International community subjects help to votes In this land, the tragedy was captured by western reporters A lesson for their viewers on 21st century camcorders Analysts sit and explain how the primordial Africans slaughter Lines of Bodies maimed by RPGs and mortars They say reporters have no borders But what about the massacres of America and Blackwater? Or what about the Ethiopian soldier who just killed a mother and her daughter? I guess this land must be a beneficiary of the new World Order? In this land, I wonder who's to blame for the state of our people? Are we addicted to war and evil? It’s like every passing hour becomes more lethal Some say the solution lies in the scriptures For our sins, we must seek forgiveness Some says it’s the work of the militants Those hiding behind religion And killing innocents Others say the salvation lies in secular deliverance But I wonder if it makes an iota of difference? Cus in this land of Somalia, war never finds a hinderance Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

5 Posted December 16, 2009 I liked it. It'd be much better if you got the structure right. Now it sounds more like a speech than a poem. But again, I liked it. Good stuff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fabregas_Bruv Posted December 16, 2009 ^^ Yeah bro, it isn't really a poem. It's more like a rap/rhyme of my spoken words/thoughts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
