Where I Come From


(poems go here) I come from a country full of brave people who strive for a better life. Who no matter what, keep moving forward full of hope. I come from a place where children suffer everyday because of malnutrition. A place where all these children know is DEATH. Where they die everyday and not even a bit of hope is left. But even though these kids go through loosing families, people dying around them, and have trouble finding food that would last them at least a day, they smile because they want to make something of that day. I come from a country full of people ho are lost and confused. Where parents try to make a better life for their kids. And children just watch their parents struggle and feels sorry because they can't do anything. I come from a country where... Children are the ones who should be building the future but are stopped by war and famine. I come from a place where one day, it's people will rise up and unite as ONE. I come from Somalia...
