A Poem by Shirin Fazel-Dedicated to the Somali People
A new dawn rises,
let’s bury weapons,
hatred,
clan divisions,
ignorance,
injustice,
personal interest.
A new dawn rises,
let’s leave behind
the bitter taste
of being a refugee,
of the young who die without a name and a gravestone,
swallowed by the sea and by the desert.
A new dawn rises,
let’s build our country
with pride,
dignity,
respect.
A new dawn rises,
let’s cure our wounds
with love,
brotherhood,
forgiveness,
faith.
