Some want Mombasa, some want Zanzibar, some want the bar,
Some want Bahamas, some Paris , some Egypt, some Dubai,
They squint when I tell them I want Somalia for my
honeymoon!
Yes I want to walk the sands of Kismayo in a beach short
without hearing gunshots,
Yes I want my girlfriend to spot her bikini with no
Alshabaab stripping her naked,
The only explosions I want are fireworks celebrating Diwali,
I want tripadvisor to edit their information about my neighbor,
I want to eat fish by the sea and bury my feet in the hot
sand,
Catch waves and collect cowrie shells,
What of a speed boat to cruise all the 3025 kilometers of
Somalia coastline?
I want the sunrise to find me sleeping in a beach resort,
Start the day with some fine Canjeero with maraq,
I want to stroll downtown Mogadishu catching the breeze and the
noisy kids from madrassa,
Yes I want to roam the neon lit streets of Mogadishu by
night,
Probably attend a KNAN concert and wave my flag with Bullet
proof pride
Do a Seylici and Dhanto jig,
I want Google to autocomplete my Somalia search with holiday
not war,
Show a beautiful side not genocide,
The only Pirate I want are torrenters, am sure I will seed
one for you.
I want to feel right about all this,
I want the white pearl of Indian Ocean back,
I want honey moon in Kismayo,
This will happen...
I want ...
