Oh Allah,Send them rain
The eyes grow weary and sleep is imminent
Will he ever wake up again?
The heart is heavy as the breathing deepens
Will he ever see the light of day?
The nights and days merge in one
He isn’t aware if there is a sun
Or if the moon is cradled
The heat and dust swivels all around
The animals are all gone
The insects crawl
The fly sits, mouth drying
His arms beckon a vision unseen
As if to take a cup to drink
Over the other side it seems it’s winter
But here in Somalia
We are left dying
Suffering, inescapable death
There has been no hope as he travelled
The road from one day to the next
Only to arrive at this spot of dryness and heat
No water wells
No, rain, no clouds of darkness
Just the stench of grim fear and loss
Oh Allah, give them rain ,
Hear my pleas and prayers
Hear their pleas and prayers
For no doubt with cause there is a reason
Testing the compassion of humanity
If the rest would think to give and share
Surely, there must be a reason
A wisdom
There must be hope
Oh Allah, send them rain.
