A Man not a Player

Ain’t looking for a guy to my equal

For that would be near impossible


Ain’t looking for a guy to give me the world

For material things won’t feed my soul


Looking for a guy who appreciate

I’m made from his rib

Who knows he is my boss

But I’m the queen of our crib

Looking for a guy to be my homie

Who can help me raise a family

Looking for a guy who can do the simple thing in life

Make me giggle, dry my tears and honour me as his wife

If you want all my love

I am willing to give

But first you gotta prove

That my love is what you wish to achieve ;)

A Letter to My Somali Brother

I write this letter because I am heartbroken

Heartbroken because of my brother’s misunderstanding

Misunderstanding because you ain’t listening

You’re not listening to what we ain’t saying

We ain’t saying for fear of being forsaken

Forsaken because of the naming and shaming

Shaming because of the games you be playing

Playing because you ain’t respecting

Ain’t respecting because you ain’t appreciating

Ain’t appreciating because you too have been forsaken

Forsaken because nobody is understanding

Ain’t understanding because nobody is listening

Ain’t listening because you ain’t speaking

Ain’t speaking because you too fear the shaming

The shaming for being a man with emotions

Emotions that you really should be celebrating

Celebrating because you are a man that is living

Living because you’ve learned the art of expression

Yet, you ain’t expressing because you are hurting

Hurting because you no longer respecting

Ain’t respecting because you have been broken

Broken because you took a shot at loving

Now, you no longer loving

No longer listening

So you stay cold while I..

While I be heartbroken

Because I am a woman

Longing for your loving

Qaraabooy qalad maa ku dhaqaaqay?

Hadaan Qarankeyga u istaago
Qabyalada hor istaago
Qaraabooy qalad maa ku dhaqaaqay?

Hadaan Qaadirkii weynaa talo saarto
Qurankiisane midigtayta ku qabsado
Qaraabooy qalad maa ku dhaqaaqay?

Hadaan Qalin qaato
Dhalinyarta qiiro geliyo
From Qardho to Qatar qeeladeeyda gaarto
Qaraabo qalad maa ku dhaqaaqay?

Ilaan dadkeeni qaali badnaa
Qaad baabiyo, qabuuro booxiyaan
ama qah iyo qoxootinimo ku dhintaan
Qaraaboy qaasidkeena ma yahay?

Qaraaboy, Al-Qayuum talo saarta
Quraanka qalbigeena ku qaboojista
Qarankeena qiimeesta
Qabyaalada badala
Qiyaamo isku diyaariya
Gargaarka Qaadir waa qariib

The Nomadic Empress

I am the Nomadic Empress
A Queen Sheba descendant
A modern-day Mary
Fighting corruption and injustice

I am a humble servant
of the only one who deserves it
The Creator of the Universe and everything in it

For pomp and glory I have no care
May not be rich, but in my heart
a real millionaire

Peace, Mercy & Justice
are the corner stones of my kingdom
A safe haven for the weak
and no room for oppression

My world is one where
the truth is known to all
My leaders prioritise peace
and limit the prospects for war

I am the Nomadic Empress
writing to express my distress
So listen up!
Cuz I'm about to teach you
a valuable lesson

Putting pen to paper
I'll inform you of how to be a true leader

First thing you gotta understand
The nation is not a property of you and your gang

Government is a sacred trust
and a heavy responsability
That must be discharged in the name of the Almighty
For the sake of community

A leader must have elegance
strength and intelligence
Although public duty can at times
be a real menace

Like Henry Ford once said
Coming together is beginning
Staying together is progress
But only working together
leads to the path of success

The Bible says where there is no vision
people will perish
While the Quran teaches you
to repel evil with goodness
As a true leader your only mission
is to ensure this

Greed must be replaced with gratitude
And gratitude is not an act but an attitude

Honour cannot be found in
a bank account filled with a million
Nor can it be gained through
a bullet or a gun
For it is only he who honours himself
who is the truly honoured one

I am the Nomadic Empress
Writing to express my distress
Over the corruption and injustice
of which I am a witness

How can you leaders sleep at night
While your people suffer
Do you not hear their plight??

No! A true leader can never
go to sleep with a full belly
while his people go hungry

As a true leader you must be visionary
Put the extra in extra-ordinary
And commit to your role like a missionary

I am the Nomadic Empress
writing to express my distress
So if you feel my word
Don't just sit and curse the darkness

Take a solemn vow to change the globe
with the Lord as your only witness
