Lone Star!

Oh, Putland, Oh, Putland, bemused

 

I gape at the stars above you.

 

How dark it looks to see Somali’s lone star

 

disappearing from your sight!

 

I never thought I’d see the day,

 

“Farrole” poisoned the spirit of Mandeeq!

 

I never thought he’d crumble me into the ground to strip my Somalinis!

 

I never thought he’d send our brothers to harm’s way.

 

Now they are gone, I close my eyes and think of them, and how.

 

There was a time when I had doubt,

 

If he suffers from amnesia knowing I am his Somali brethren.

 

And what hurts the most is I now know how Tigray is his new kin and King.

 

I am left with emptiness but not defeat,

 

because, I am Somalia’s pride! Striving for the best!

 

We fought for the freedom you cherish in Putland.

 

A truth, Mr. Farrole will never know to admit.

 

And I will bear my guilt alone not knowing where

 

he’s left Somalia’s hero Sayid, and heroine Hawa Tako,

 

Perhaps they too had perished in his mist.

 

If he must know, we’ve been tested in ovens of hell.

 

Dignified and certified our will equaling to gold and diamond!

 

Freedom from Woyane ascendancy is a must for us,

 

We pray as well your kinship with Tigray to

 

forever flourish until death does you a part.
