uchi Posted March 13, 2012 Like Robert Frost: I always entertain great hopes. * * And then * This Nietzsche caveat comes immediately to mind * When I think of our * Sad & silly * Inane & Insane * Self-inflicted Somali Sorrows: * Hope is the worst of evils for it prolongs the torments of man. * Along with this Camus caveat not so far behind: * * He who despairs of the human condition is a coward * But he who has hope for it is a fool. * But I like the best this Ben Franklin quote: * He that lives upon Hope dies farting. * It does seem to me now * That we Somalis are slowly but surely dying farting! * It does seem to me now * That all Somalis live now * In that storied Somali town called * Dhuso Mareb: * The town where you can’t help but die farting! * Not long ago * The British * The Americans * And the usual Somali Empty Suits: * Somali morticians * Posing * As Somali politicians * Met * In London * In hype * In hoopla * Promising * The Moon & the Millennium * To the Somali nation Come this August! * I am sure * That what the British will deliver * Come this coming August * Will be nothing but the usual * British Platitudes & Beatitudes * Which are according to James Joyce: * Beer & beef * Business & bibles * Bulldogs & battleships * Buggery & bishops. * I am also sure * That what the Americans will deliver * Come this coming August * Will be nothing but the usual * American platitudes & Beatitudes * Which are according to Hajji Togane: * Drones & Despair Obama & Abomination * Budweiser & Bullshit * Hillory& Harlotry * Meles & Musevani * Mahiga & Meshuggenah * I am also sure * That what the Somalis will deliver * Come this coming August * Will be the usual Somali platitudes & Beatitudes * Which are according to Hajji Togane: * Qabil & Qore: clan & carnage * Qab & Qaad: Pride & Kat * Qurun & Qamro: Corruption & Booze * Qaylo & Qalalaasso: *Shrieking & Pandemonium * If you always do * What you always did * You will always get * What you always got! Indeed Somalia * And * NOT Ireland, * Is now * That old sow * That daily feasts upon her own farrow. Mohamud Siad Togane Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
