Fatima
Strong as a mountain
nice as sheep
so the day you
said never do this again
I did not get you the tape
still beautiful, a clear face at seventy
a beautiful book, "Unlimited Power".
A beautiful life! Thanks for the rocks.
A sister so tall and beautiful, a model
a Writer, a CEO!
A Sister so nice and proud
Aicha
She ran away from a life's
hardship and silence
finding the land of milk and honey
my brother Zyed
Moses, Musa
A Black man, so nice
Fatima, 70 years you carried me
and I have carried you. 70 years of
protection and laughter! Harships
and ease, investing in our lives
my sibling, 4 of us
What is your name
the last one, I am the last one
a brother that is young
blossoming
wife, two children, Mashalla
a career, building incrementally
Me, a person whose flaws
compassionate, liar
power hungry
"you make men"
like my dad who died
5 days later I got married
always smiling yet sad
Me character defects
unforgiving, a cause
so big and far- fatched
My African American men
a cause that my mom separated
from, and my dad got me into
and my brothe Zyed got out of
and My sister Aicha horrorified, stunned refused
that made my younger brother broke the silence
All the ropes now lose. My family free
I am home, here in Somaliland
Free, I am home in my black world
in the head and on this black earth
The Pharoah land, the land of my
lineage
