The People of Somalia By: Sohaib Khan
The people in Somalia
-Sohaib Khan
Our country is a country like no other
We were discriminated from the start and left to rot
As if we were born in this world without a cause
I know god created all of us for a purpose
But it's hard to fullfill that purpose when our country can't serve us
We live in an environment full of life threatening diseases
Diseases such as malaria, aids, HIV, and many others
Our country doesn't provide us with decsent resources
Our water is like sewage, we barely have food to feed ourselves, and our country isn't modernized enough for us to live in
My people die everyday due to diseases
Babies, children, and adults don't have the neccessary medical health care to survive these diseases
Looking at countries near us and around the world,
They have a more descent style of living
They have everything and we don't or a little better
Why can't anyone provide us with something we can live our lives on with?
At least something that can help our country survive
You have everything and we have nothing
Have the heart to provide us with your care
Help us! or there wouldn't be anyone to help anymore

At first, the poem is touching and the message that you are trying to convey is noble. The theme of the poem is "Help Us" before we disappear. The theme of the poem shows up in the last two lines of the poem where you actually asked for "help." You request was packed up with a strong statement which is: "or there wouldn't be anyone to help anymore." Also, speaking from first person point of view gives the reader the impression that these people are in need of help; it makes him feel the Somalians difficulties. In addition, the first lines of the poem, which talks about humanity and that everyone is created for a purpose, are very important in backing up the theme of your poem because they remind the reader that all of us are equal and we have a purpose. Last thing, making the reader feels sympathetic is a one thing that made the theme stronger. This appears when you were saying that babies and children die of hunger and diseases. This one fact has really made a big difference in the overall theme of the poem.
