The Enemy Within Poem by Ali Farah

The Enemy Within



Why Somalis are so keen to tribalism?
Why nationalism is so alien in our culture?
Why vision is so blurred in our eyes?
Why reality is so not comprehensible in our minds?
Why facts are so ignored in our homes?
Why logic is so lonely in our country?
Why truth is so unlikeable in our media?
Why justice is so hated in our neighbourhoods?
Why hypocrisy is so full in our hearts?
Why Islam is such a lip service to our people?
Why are we the  enemy against ourslves?

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
When I look at the continuing problems of Somalia, I have come to a conclusion, despite ulterior motives of the many foreign actors, that Somalis are primarily responsible the ongoing demise of the Somali state.
Society against itself.

It talks about specific place, nevertheless it speaks volumes about many other places. Love it
