Your Society Needs You

by Abdirahman Hassan Ahmed · ISBN 9798180279002

Education, perseverance and responsibility to others shape these direct, rhythmic poems addressed especially to young people. Reflections on school, family, friendship and faith encourage patience, discipline and gratitude, while portraits of poverty and drought reveal the pressures facing individuals and communities. Calls for peace and justice challenge tribalism and female genital mutilation, placing personal ambition alongside wider social concerns. Moving between warning, praise and encouragement, the collection urges readers to develop their talents, value those who support them and work towards a better shared future.
