As we sail through
our Somali Seas of Sordidness
our Somali Slough of Despond
with battalions of sorrow
with our wounded Somali Spirit
sagging
with many a sigh
with no relief in sight
we can’t help but encounter
this pretty kettle of Somali fish
we can’t help but encounter
countless kinds of
comical
clannish
foolish fish
that make us guffaw with laughter
to keep us from weeping all the time
like fish out of water.
Mud fish sling dirt
on other fish
in order to keep themselves clean
the Issaq
alias
the Iidoar
are mud fish
for they are the most clannish queer fish
who claim to eat no fish
who yell at fish eaters
“Speak not to me with that mouth
which eateth fish!”
who are still fugly fish
for they go around the world
with plenty of other fish to fry
for they are always loose fish
who always drink like fish
who always tipple in the deep
who always chew jaad in the dark dens of the deep
who always gerish geisha mermaids of the deep
who always swear to be British
who always swear to be the long lost orphans
of the English Queen
the Issaq
alias
the Iidoar
are mud fish
for they always go around the world
with plenty of other fish to fry
for they are always loose fish
who let loose
on every Somali Klan
who dump
on every Somali Klan
who sling dirt
on every Somali Klan
in order to keep themselves clean
badmouthing the South
boasting
look
how great we are
how superior we are
to the rest of the Somali nation
boasting
look
how fine we are
look
how foul
how fucked-up
how foolish the Faqash of the silly South are.
Guppies are insecure frightened fish
with mighty mouths
always in motion
always on guard
always on the move
always on the make
Guppies are always being gobbled up by bigger fish
All the clans
that are always deemed minorities
that are always regarded
as risible minorities
as visible minorities
that are always designated as Gûn
that are always classified as coons
that are always fingered as small fry
that are always given the finger
that are always given the short end of the shitty clannish stick
that are always given short shrift
that are always given the bum’s rush
that are always crucified as cunts
that are always neutered as niggers
are doggone gûn guppies.
citizenship revoked? hell no.
