Somalia
A child’s crying for food,
But the conditions are doing nothing good.
And as the earth heats up during the day,
From my heart, my soul, I say:
“Oh! Somalia! Oh! East Africa!
People are dying out of hunger,
And we can watch no longer!
Oh! Somalia! Oh! East Africa!
Through my poem I want to tell you,
That we’re here and are trying to help you!”
Thousands have died, and it’s still increasing,
And all you need is healing and feeding.
There’s still a thing left mankind,
And so I say leaving other tensions behind:
“Oh! Somalia! Oh! East Africa!
Soon you will be out of your misery
And there’ll be happiness in your country!
Oh! Somalia! Oh! East Africa!
Through my poem I want to tell you,
That we’re here and are trying to help you!”
Oh! We are here for you
-Shahrukh Jamal.
