Poem: Defend your Dignity By Abdiweli Sheekh (Awliyo), awliyo_alle@yahoo.com
My Somali brethren

our beloved country is bleeding
the people are in the brink
their peace is in peril
and the big picture is bleak.

Our arch-enemy infiltrated us
orchestrating invasion to achieve
occupation and all out annihilation
among other things their aims are
turning our men to eunuchs
our women to eyesore, our youth to addicts
our children to imps.

Ethiopia has no Ocean
they afraid of Eritrea
Ogaden is in strive
Oromo is on the edge
like Adolf Hitler
their autocrat is in illusion
that is nature of the beast
and I envision déjà vu.

Tribal dogmas or other considerations aside
do any possible way to defeat the invaders
and their dogs of war
and defend your dignity.

Whether you are student
intellectual or otherwise
do what your forefathers did
And defend your dignity.

Whether you are in New Caledonia
Nueva Lubecka or Newfoundland
go to your beloved country
and defend your dignity.
Whether you have stone
stick, arrow, spear or sword
do as your forefathers did
and defend your dignity.

For the record, the poet along with his teenage son is en route to defend their beloved country.
