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

My Mission
a mission to save a nation
a nation on death row
My mission is one of eradication
the eradication of deep desperation
desperation resulting from deprivation
the deprivation of a nation
a nation on death row
I am on mission
a mission to provide a vision
a vision of emancipation
emancipation of a nation
a nation on death row
My vision is of a nation
a nation free of frustration
frustration replaced by liberation
the liberation of a nation
a nation on death row
My vision will soon come to realisation
the realisation of a nation
a nation free of destruction
destruction replaced with the hopes of a nation
a nation no longer on death row

Qaraabooy qalad maa ku dhaqaaqay?
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
