Greatest Poem in Somali History

[Monk-of-Mogadishu]

Foxes have holes

birds have nests

Somalis have Puntland

for Puntland is

where Somali sons & daughters prophesy

Somali salvation

Somali greatness

Somali singleness of solidarity

for Puntland is

where old men dream dreams

where young men see visions

of the unity of the Somali Spirit

in the bonds of Peace

for the city of Bossasso is now the Boston of East Africa

for the city of Bossasso now is the beacon of light

beckoning

all beleaguered Somalis

all blighted Somalis

all benighted Somalis

all besieged Somalis

that is why I call the Puntlanders

the only gob of the Somali race

the only kings of the Somali race

the only aristocrats of the Somali race

the only Macavity aristo-cats of the Somali race

that is why I call the Puntlanders

the only custodians

of Somali honor

of Somali decency

of Somali dignity

of Somali integrity

that is why I call the Puntlanders

the only custodians of our Somali collective conscience

the only custodians of our collective Somali destiny

for they are

the quiddity of the Somali race

the quintessence of the Somali race

when Gerald Hanley testified that

Of all the races of Africa,

there cannot be one

better to live among than

the most difficult

the proudest

the bravest

the vainest

the most merciless

the friendliest

the Somalis

I am certain

that he had meant the Macavity Puntlanders

among whom he had lived.

Without the majerteen, abgaal would not have survived the last century
I consider cabdulahi yusuf the emancipator of abgaal. If I was a mudlood I would build a statute for abdulahi yusuf.
He even uplifted their Psychological self being when he named mogadishu airport after a mudulood.
Togane is a grateful guy and his poems are a reflection of that

Biased yet pleasantly beautiful,
