Once a regarded as champion of peace
Mogadishu is now possessed by anarchy
Once known to be a source of stability
Mogadishu is now a city of instability
In her eyes tears of pain are drying
Civil war has reduced it to a rubble
Its schools have been terribly looted
Its hospitals were made militia camps
Allah Karim
From inside the burning house
Comes a plea for an urgent help
The roof is falling over family
There are bullets flying over
There are rockets landing on them
There is hunger killing children
Ferrying of food quite impossible
As sea is infested with pirates
Somalia is crying out for rescue
But rescuer is fumbling around
Looking for the keys to move in
While the door is open for him
Allah Karim
Allah is Merciful
by Abdi-Noor Haji Mohamed (Eagle Of Hope)
