Wax akhriska iyo barashada waayaha dadka kala duwan ee dunida ku nuuli waa mihiim. Laga yaabee in aanad xiisaayn wixii aan khusaayn bulshada Soomaaliyeed, balse aqoontu waa shaay mihiim ah. Mida kale, ama diid ama yeel, madow baad tahay. Markaa waayaha uu ka hadlayo qoraagani waa wax kugu saabsan oo aanad ka carari karin. Haddii aad ku nooshahay galbeedka dunida, gaar ahaan woqooyiga America waaba arin shakhsiyan ku khusaysa.

Adiga ma qasab iga dhigi kartid madow? Saa wax u jiran? Qof meeshan la qasbi karo ma jiro, tan kale nin India ka yimi iyo mid Indonesia ka yimi isku mid miya? Yellow ma iskula dhahaa?

And now we're off to religion. Well, that didn't take long.
