Africa, Dont Fail Somalia Poem by kelvin karani

When a man fights his wife

She either retaliates or perseveres

But that solves not the strife.



Hearing the chaotic cries

Neighbors either intervene

Or are lulled to sleep by the lullaby.



Will Africa rise up to the occasion

To solve the Somali crisis?

Or it hasn’t resolved its own impotence.



And do remember Africa,

Somalia is not a neighbor’s house

But one of your own child.



The peace of your own home Africa,

As long as the battering in Somalia continues

Is unjustified and rightly threatened.
