Dear Brother Amir, this poem is heart wrenching and divinely inspired! May you be rewarded for all of your great talent and efforts! I would put this on my blog if it wasn't about Somalia (but I am going to!) Peace!

This is going on my blog right away. Heart-wrenchingly on point. Peace!

My Insides Out

SOMALIA: NEVERMIND

black faces
white tongues
the smell of sea water
taunts with sarcasm
drink me

oh somalia 
im sorry i couldnt be there for you
but while you were trying to to get your daughter 
to drink her urine
a singer died
while your children
were falling from the tree of life 
scattered bushels of rotten fruit
some whiter children were shot

oh somalia
only if your beautiful wasnt so black
only if you were 
gaza or 
libya or 
bahrain or 
egypt or 
norway or 
england or 
japan or 
america 
or the moon
i would mention you in a poem 

only if you had 
oil or 
poppy or 
timber or 
rubber or 
white people
i would mention you in my prayers



oh somalia
only if your beautiful wasnt so black 
the world has grown accustom to watching you die
since i was a child
somalia - synonymous with suffering
african meant adversity 
an african struggling was like
a fish swimming
a dog barking
somalia meant starvation

nevermind the magic in your poetry
or
the glowing saints rising from your lands like a thousand moons

nevermind the beauty of your beaches 
or
the utter perfection in the hips of your women

oh somalia 
only if you didnt wear the resemblance of eve
like an ornate funeral shroud 
we wouldnt see you as our sin
and avert our gazes
in shame
turn our faces
to blame
only if your lack of the worldy
didnt remind us 
of our lack of the other-worldly
perhaps then we would mention you

oh somalia
only if your beautiful wasnt so black 

Somalia-nevermind
